Tonawanda Housing Authority schedules construction start; full occupancy targeted for April 2027
Summary
A Tonawanda Housing Authority representative told the City of Tonawanda Common Council that fiscal closing is set for the next day, construction will begin Nov. 10, and the development aims for full rent-up by April 2027; an official said a formal groundbreaking will be scheduled in early December.
Mister Krakovich, speaking for the Tonawanda Housing Authority, told the City of Tonawanda Common Council that the authority will complete fiscal closing the following day and expects the first day of construction on Monday, Nov. 10. "Tomorrow we do our fiscal closing, and first day of construction is November 10," he said.
The authority plans to post New York State housing signage and operate a construction office on-site at 260 D, which Krakovich said would serve as the project’s field headquarters during work. He said the state has asked the authority to fast-track remaining elements of the project and that officials are aiming for full occupancy by April 2027.
Krakovich said the official project announcement and paperwork would be provided to the council the next day, and that a New York State communications program coordinated by Jimmy Flynn would assist with public announcements. He also said the authority does not anticipate any road closures to begin construction.
Council members asked logistical questions about signage and street repairs; Krakovich said street signs have been addressed and that the construction company would take occupancy of an apartment unit at 260 D to serve as the on-site office. He indicated he would return to the council in a few months with further updates as the state requested an accelerated schedule for remaining parcels.
The council did not take formal action on the update; members thanked Krakovich for the briefing and noted they would expect the authority’s official documents the following day.
