Congers Valley Cottage Volunteer Ambulance Corps Construction Starts
Supervisor Alex Gromack, Town Board council members Shirley Lasker, Frank Borelli, George Hoehmann and Stephanie Hausner, and the members of the Congers-Valley Cottage Volunteer Ambulance Corps participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony on April 25th at the site of the new headquarters located on 122 Kings Highway, Congers.
"Our goal in Town government is to continuously explore savings opportunities in municipal projects to ensure cost efficiencies for our residents," said Supervisor Gromack. "This is a prime example of how working with other municipal partners, we can lower the cost of government in Clarkstown."
The project will include complete demolition of an existing two story 6500 square foot building and reconstruction in the same basic footprint of a new two story 9,350 square foot building. The cost of the new building is expected to be just under $3million, which is being managed by the Town of Clarkstown to ensure lower cost to hamlet residents. As a result of the Town of Clarkstown - Ambulance Corps partnership, the residents in the hamlets of Valley Cottage and Congers saved a total of $1,690,000.00.
Construction will start next week on the reconstruction and expansion of the Congers-Valley Cottage Ambulance Corps building. Service will be uninterrupted during the construction period.
