FEMA awards Genteel Construction $370K for Esterwood culvert replacement project

During the recent Dobbs Ferry Board of Trustees meeting, significant progress was reported on local infrastructure projects, particularly the Esterwood culvert and drainage pipe replacement. The project, which has been awarded to Genteel Construction for $370,000, is set to commence in the coming weeks. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the village's drainage systems, which are crucial for managing stormwater and preventing flooding.

Trustee Laurier Lee expressed gratitude for the easement and access agreements that facilitate the project's start. These agreements are essential for ensuring that construction can proceed smoothly and without delays, ultimately benefiting residents by improving local infrastructure.

In addition to the culvert project, discussions included updates on various FEMA-funded initiatives aimed at bolstering community resilience against natural disasters. The board emphasized the importance of these projects in safeguarding the village's infrastructure and enhancing public safety.

As these projects move forward, residents can expect improvements that will not only address current drainage issues but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of Dobbs Ferry's infrastructure. The board's commitment to these developments reflects a proactive approach to community needs and environmental challenges.
