Pinhook Park grant extended 90 days as committee warns work may not be ready for celebration
Summary
Benton & Associates reported a 90-day extension on the Pinhook Park grant and said it will press Laverdiere Construction to remove remaining equipment so the park can be cleared for the annual Pinhook celebration; the board expects a change order at the next meeting.
Members of the Pinhook committee told the Village of Industry Board of Trustees they were worried the Pinhook Park improvements would not be finished in time for the annual Pinhook celebration. The committee urged the board for clarity on schedule and cleanup; the minutes record their concern but do not list individual speakers by name.
Doug of Benton & Associates told trustees a 90-day extension on the park completion grant has been granted and that he will speak with Laverdiere Construction to arrange removal of remaining equipment so the park may be cleaned up for Pinhook days. He added the street near the park will likely need to be closed to provide access to electricity and that Superintendent Gorsuch should be able to provide barricades. A change order for the park is expected to be presented for board approval at the next meeting.
Why it matters: Pinhook days is a recurring community event; a delayed park project could affect staging, safety and access during the celebration. The board documented the extension and directed staff and its consultant to coordinate with the contractor on equipment removal and any necessary traffic controls.
