WATERTOWN â With a countdown from five, a group of those close to the project brandished the pairs of large, gold scissors handed to them and cut the ribbon for the reopening ceremony of The Arc Jefferson-St. Lawrenceâs Gaffney Drive facility Thursday evening, a culmination of years of work and millions of dollars.
The renovation project has taken about three years to complete, including initial planning, design and engineering, construction and a capital campaign to assist with the cost of the project. Construction began last July, when The Arc Jefferson-St. Lawrence embarked on the first major renovation of its Gaffney Drive campus since it was built in 1968: an estimated $12 million project. Except for an addition in 1972, the 43,000-square-foot building had not undergone any major renovations since it was built.
MASSENA â Although thereâs been a 30% increase in the price of tin, that hasnât impacted the Massena Central School Districtâs $49.6 million capital project.
James Francesconi, senior project manager for C&S Companies, the districtâs construction management firm, told board of education members that Northern Mechanicals was seeing an increase in a couple of other projects. The firm was awarded the mechanical construction contract for the Massena Central project.
âThey havenât reported that yet on this project, obviously. I think itâs because they got ahead of the game. Theyâre starting sooner rather than later,â Mr. Francesconi said.
