New Castle Fire District No. 1 Modernization Project Update
Chappaqua, NY

Key Updates

Progress and Coordination

Steel Installation (Updated!)
Steel erection is progressing steadily, officially taking the project vertical. This week, crews are focusing efforts on the west side of the project, working on completing bolted connections between steel beams and columns, installing metal decking on the 2nd and roof floors, and ensuring all beams and columns are straight and level.

Masonry Work (New!)
Block work will continue throughout the week, with masonry teams fully mobilized on site. Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection (MEPFP) trades are also actively working, installing pipes, conduits, and electrical wiring in coordination with the masonry progress.

Access and Parking
• No construction-related parking is permitted on Elm Street or Memorial Drive.
• All deliveries must enter the site via King Street.
• Any required access via Memorial Drive will be communicated in advance.

Environmental Safety Measures
Silt fences and silt baskets remain installed to manage runoff and sediment. These controls are being actively monitored and maintained to ensure compliance and site cleanliness.

Community Engagement
The Fire District encourages residents to stay informed via the District’s website and community announcements. Updates will include key milestones, schedule changes, and any potential traffic impacts. Community feedback is always welcome.
