After Village Hall was inundated with 3 feet of water in Hurricane Irene’s wrath, the village is grappling with how to protect its treasured building from future catastrophes.
On Monday, Mayor Keith Killion and administrative staff of the village brought residents through the facility’s ground floor to survey the damage, then held an open discussion to entertain ideas from the roughly dozen residents – including builders and architects – who came to listen and contribute.
The building suffered about $200,000 in losses, village officials have reported, including about $90,000 in wall damages and mold abatement on the first level. Four feet of sheetrock was pulled from the walls of the ground floor, which holds the Annie Zusy Youth Center and the Patrick Mancuso Senior Center, as well as a meeting room, an employee lounge, restrooms, a police gym and storage space.
