Summer 2021 Construction Activities
Construction on Main Street proper is set to wrap up for the summer of 2021, starting July 1st until just after Labor Day. Significant work completed this spring includes new:
√ 16" water main on Main Street with most of the new water services to the buildings also installed
√ stormwater management basin in One Main Park along with parts of the stormwater drainage on Parkside Drive
√ configuration for One Main Park, along with a newly shaped Main Street / Sara-Placid Road (Rte 86) intersection and granite pavers
√ granite curbing on Mirror Lake Drive across from Lakeside Resort, up Sara-Placid Road (Rte 86) and in front of High Peaks Resort
√ sidewalks on Mirror Lake Drive, and both sides of Sara-Placid Road (Rte 86) before St. Agnes Church
√ unexpected (due to deteriorating conditions) 12" water main and 8" sewer main on Sara-Placid Road (Rte 86), with all laterals and connections completed
Construction will continue during the summer of 2021 in confined, off-street areas from June 30th until just after Labor Day. If the weather cooperates and construction activities avoid significant challenges, the combination of the work finished spring through summer may enable the Village to finish construction one year earlier than expected.
