Town Board of New Castle Work Session & Meeting 6/23/26
Published: Jun 23, 2026
Pedestrian Bridge Upgraded for Durability; 911 Memorial Bid Awarded
The town is authorizing a contractor change order for the pedestrian bridge at the duck pond to use composite material instead of pressure-treated pine for the decking. This change, costing an additional $65,348, is expected to provide significantly greater durability than the pine, which was estimated to last no more than 10 years. The original material was on the foot bridge over the duck pond, and the supports underneath were the issue. Composite material is being used on both bridges. Additionally, authorization is sought to accept a change order for the Chappaqua train station project to include a land survey for as-built drawings, costing $3,733. The bid for the 911 memorial at Gedney Park is being awarded to Tony Cassalei for $60,000, with funding from a grant by Senator Pete Harkham's office, and is expected to be completed by late August.
Key Procurement Decisions Made for Insurance, Paving, and Snow Removal Services
The town is approving the service fee for Faux and Suns, their insurance broker for general liability and workers' compensation, at $25,000 annually. Faux and Suns also provides monthly safety training. Additionally, the town is approving workers' compensation coverage for Perma for the second year of a three-year agreement, with a total premium of $311,244, representing a slight increase from the previous year. This stable rate is attributed to the staff's commitment to safety and training. Road paving services are being awarded to Montesano Brothers Incorporated for $1,340,513 for 18 streets, covering slightly over five miles, a lower mileage due to increased gas and oil prices. The paving list is determined based on road condition, usage, and utility projects. The town will also piggyback on county bids for water main cement pipelining from Precision Trenchless for $230,000. A change order for Roaring Brook traffic light maintenance is approved for a three-year term, with hourly rates for service. Finally, the town is authorizing the bid solicitation for sidewalk snow removal for the Chappaqua Hamlet Parking District, as the previous contract with Griffin Landscaping expired.
Town Supports Grant Application for New Stat Lane Culvert Repairs
A resolution is being approved in support of a WQIP grant application for New Stat Lane, which has two failing culverts needing repair. The total estimated cost is $425,000, with the grant covering 75% of the expenses. This initiative aims to improve water quality and address infrastructure issues.
Town Supports WQIP Grant Application for New Stat Lane Culvert Repair
The town is seeking authorization to approve a resolution in support of a Water Quality Improvement Program (WQIP) grant application for New Stat Lane. Two failing culverts on New Stat Lane require repair. The estimated cost for the entire repair project is $425,000, and the grant would cover 75% of this cost. The project was previously approved to go out to bid.
Economic Revitalization Task Force Presents Progress and Future Plans
The Newcastle Economic Revitalization Task Force provided an update on their initiatives to cultivate a dynamic and resilient local economy, expand business opportunities, and enhance the quality of life in the town's commercial nodes. The task force has been meeting bi-weekly for six months, comprising volunteers with expertise in marketing, real estate, retail, logistics, and town government. Their work is organized into four streams: outreach to brokers, landlords, tenants, and merchants; marketing and communications; events and activations; and cosmetic improvements. Key accomplishments include re-engaging with regional brokers through tours, identifying new tenant opportunities, and gathering resident feedback via a survey. They are also focusing on developing a new website to serve as a single source of information and improving marketing and communication strategies. The task force is committed to executing initiatives to build trust and demonstrate progress, with a focus on long-term sustainability and permanent solutions for economic development and marketing.
