Hello everyone,
We started construction on Tuesday, September 15,2009(exactly 10 months after the fire). The first step is to pour "footings" which are the concrete pads which will support the steel reinforced concrete piers (all underground)that support the steel columns which will be what you see above ground. They will be pouring concrete all September to create these underground support structures.We are hoping the steel erection starts by the end of the month. It should take about three weeks to erect all the steel. We are looking at a tentative reopening date of April 1st for the entire facility. We hope to reopen Perkins/Legends before that but are still waiting on some information from the engineering firm before we can firm up that date more. I will post shorter more frequent updates now that something is actually happening. Best wishes to everyone. Terry

Permit Issuance
Hello Everyone, I finally have something to post. We received a permit yesterday. Here is an update.
PERMIT ISSUANCE:
Our plans from the Jeffords Engineering were submitted on June 19, 2009. McKenna Associates, our architect, submitted his plans a week later on June 26, 2009. Tuesday July 28,2009, Bova Engineering, the engineering firm hired by the Town of Plattsburgh to review our professionals' plans, responded to the plan submission in a letter to the Town Building Inspector requesting additional information. On August 11 and August 12, our Engineering and Architectural firms resubmitted their plans incorporating the items requested by Bova Engineering. On September 3rd at 12:32 pm I was informed by the Building Inspector, Steve Imhoff, that we were going to receive our building permit upon his receipt of one more signed stamped copy of Plans from both our Architect and Engineer. The architect and engineer from Jeffords Steel were out of the office on Thursday so we submitted the plans from both on Friday and received our Building Permit. We are now awaiting word from our foundation subcontractor and our steel erection subcontractor when they can plug us into their schedules. I will post another blog as soon as we get the scheduling from these sub contractors.
INSURANCE:
We have received our insurance money for the building part of our claim and are still awaiting determination of the amount to be approved on the Personal property Claim and when they will pay the Business Interruption Claim.
TIMELINE:
As soon as we work out the construction schedule in the next couple weeks I will give you a tentative construction schedule. I hope everyone is doing well. Terry
