An engineering study is being planned to determine how much work needs to be done on the Nelson Avenue garage in Peekskill.
City officials are contracting with Birdsall Services Group, which is based out of White Plains, to conduct an engineering and electrical study on the structure at a cost not exceed $18,500.
The contract, which was approved during last week’s common council meeting, will be finalized sometime during the next few weeks.
The garage, which is at least 40 years old, has had problems with leaking and the city has had to make repairs to its facade in the past.

yeah, but let the mayor tell it, that never happened, ( the excavator tearing down the building…Read More before the investigators even got to the scene) just like all the other lies that they have told.

With all these non profits not paying taxes they have certainly made a lot of us who pay the bills…Read More for them non profit also.

@w Kelly.....Ahhhhhhhhh maybe the cops are not educated about addiction?? Why not ask the neighbors…Read More of the soon-to-be closed HVHC Methadone Clinic -- the veterinarian, residents in hear-by homes, the stores and restaurants in the shopping center, etc. -- have they experienced any "problems" with the clients going to the clinic ?? Personally, I believe the "cops" should be focusing on the known areas to buy drugs -- it does not take a rocket scientist to see the dealers. What happened to the bike patrols used by the police dept ???
As said by another, thank goodness we live in the U.S. for freedom of speech.

Well, well, well, I left Peekskill 2 years ago and Mad Dumb Mary Foster is still in office and…Read More better yet still wrecking havoc upon the wonderful people of Peekskill. How's Targets doing down on Louisa St.? The New Firehouse is beautiful. (That's a Joke) What happened to Main St. some drug lord bought new softer lighting so their street level dealers are harder to be recognize by the Police? Paramount closed, Paramount reopened what happen? The Republican in charge didn't pad your pocket Mary? Wouldn't bow down to you? Tumolo out Johansen in. Gene was great Eric will do a great job too just don't short change him. Frank Catalina running for Mayor? Dear people of Peekskill DON'T SCREW THIS UP !!! Everyone crying over the Methadone clinic moving into town? Afraid the "drug addicts" will destroy the town. "?" First of all the Addict's already live among you, shop in your businesses, eat in you restaurants, vote in political elections, and own businesses and restaurants that you patronize. These people are recovering from a addiction just like an alcoholic recovering from alcoholism. They are not thugs, thieves, rapists, they are hard working people like you and me, well like some of you and me, trying to make a living. Mary called the area they want to open the clinic a residential neighborhood. "?" Sewage treatment plant, Highland Self Storage, Hudson Valley Bus Company, residential. Interesting. Still see the day workers hanging out in the same spots, illegal immigrants? No. Undocumented Democrats, Yes. No Peekskill Celebration? Italian Feast? Assumption School closing it's doors? Notice a few more empty stores in town. All on your watch Foster. Miss living down here, don't miss Foster and her gang of thugs. Is Havernik still your puppy on a string. Mary? WHY?! WHY?! I Know, follow you leader Obama and blame George Bush for everything.

The long suffering tax payer should look at it as them paying for their extravagant health care and…Read More pension plans. As for lending a hand they have had our hand outs for way too long.

We've got the Constitution on our side. Although it is being eroded, we still have quite a large…Read More number of the population who still believes in it- 46,455 gun background checks per day since bama got in office- ( yes, we already do background checks for the majority of gun purchases)

Let's face it- we can find niche studies to suit any position we take- but the justice department…Read More study I am citing is a large piece that goes from 1993-2010- before, during and after the 1994 assault weapons ban -and it spans a pretty large time frame in which to draw these conslusions. This is a very comprehensive look at gun crime in the US- and it shows massive decline despite rising ownership. Deny all you want, because to continue your agenda, it's your only choice.

Tele, I keep hearing the mantra from the right saying more guns equal less crime. The truth however…Read More flies in the face of this propaganda. A recent study actually shows that the highest homicide rates are in the states with the fewest gun controls. States like Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi and Alaska just to name a few.
Sure, there are fewer homicides in Alaska than in New York, but adjusted for population, the per-ca-pita homicide rate is significantly lower in New York.

Thanks Liz,
We appreciate your support and I will pass your kind comments on to our staff. I'm sure…Read More it will mean a lot to them.

I stand by my statement- until these contracts are fully re-negotiated and the unions start…Read More contributing to their benefits and taking zero % or minimal raises, the taxes will continue to increase year after year- Buchanan will no longer be the so-called "bargain" some claim it is.

Hey Fly, before you make comments, you should check the facts. The contracts are alive and well.…Read More Mr. Donahue should try learning to read and checking the facts before sending his brilliant letters to the editor in for publishing. They are almost always entirely fictional....but perhaps he really believes what he says. Yeah, right. He intentionally makes up stories to sucker people like you into believing his nonsense.
