1040 Jackson -
Construction Zone!
Over the
next several months we will be crunching through our construction
project. We are installing an elevator to serve all four floors
of our building. The job has been approved by the City of New
York Dept. of Buildings (DOB) and the MTA. Fortunately, we will be able to keep
large sections of the building open and operating throughout.
There will be some inconveniences but it will be worth it!
This project has been made possible by capital
grants from the Irish Government, and from State Assemblywomen
Marge Markey and Cathy Nolan, along with the generous support of
community leaders in the construction trades.
You can follow all the fun on Facebook in our
Elevator
Construction Album.
