Emergency repairs sought on county highway garage
Rebuilding a section of Erie County’s highway garage in East Concord will cost about $450,000.
County Executive Chris Collins is asking the Legislature to approve the repairs on an emergency basis, so his Public Works Department can again park its plows under cover there.
In a letter to the Legislature, Collins said rain and snow led to the failure of the roof over a portion of the building in early December.
Collins declared an emergency Dec. 18 so officials could hire a contractor without competitive bidding.
