Moscow Borough Building project moving along

The Moscow Borough Municipal Building is in better shape than ever to weather the winter.

A $304,272 project to renovate the municipal hub is well underway, with many building upgrades already finished or soon to be done, said Arthur Pencek, president of borough council.

Eastern Roofing Systems installed metal tiles, finished adding division walls to the public works garage to ensure employees do not have to work on vehicles in sub-freezing temperatures, and whad largely finished placing an insulated roof on top of the existing corrugated metal roof.

Even before turning on the heat, it is already much, much warmer in there because the wind is not blowing through the garage anymore, Mr. Pencek said.

Contractors also added a guardrail to the back of the property by Van Brunt Creek, and were adding foam insulation to the interior of the building.

Installation of a small roof over the walkway entrance to the Police Department, and some aluminum siding work were not yet finished, but Mr. Pencek said contractors expected to wrap that up during the winter.

Paving the dirt and gravel part of the parking lot will not be done until the spring, he said.

It is turning out good, Mr. Pencek said. The project is moving along.

The borough is using funding from a portion of the $500,035 state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant for the project. The grant also funded Main Street sidewalks and Van Brunt Street sidewalk, curb and drainage system work.
