After a lengthy delay, which included multiple applications filed with the D.E.C., additional generators, and the installation of enhanced filtering systems to lower the zinc levels, the de-watering process for the project is now complete. The elevator pit has been installed, and work on the exterior foundation of the new east side addition is currently underway. More detailed information regarding the dewatering was published on the August 21st in The Amityville Record, which can be found here: https://www.amityvillerecord.com/articles/water-contamination-issue-solved-at-amityville-library-work-site/
There have been no changes to the original design plan, which still includes a new lobby, Children's Room, ADA-compliant elevator, multiple bathrooms, and an outdoor terrace.
We are actively developing an updated timeline and recovery schedule, but we are hopeful that the doors to your new Amityville Public Library will open by summetime.
Although beyond our control, we sincerly apologize for both the delay and the circumstances surrounding it. We greatly appreciate the continued suppport and understanding of the Amityville community and its dedicated library patrons.
If you have specific questions regarding the project, please reach out to Director Todd Schlitt directly at tschlitt@amityvillepubliclibrary.org or by calling 631-264-0567.
Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season!
