Yorktown Police Plaza Reconstruction Begins Monday

September 20, 2023 – The Town of Yorktown will begin a reconstruction of the police plaza on Monday.

The rehabilitation and beautification work at 2281 Crompond Road will fix broken steps at the entrance to the Yorktown Police headquarters and the Justice Court; replace deteriorated curbs; add landscaping; replace some bricks with pavement; move handicapped parking; and repair leaks from the plaza into a tunnel between the court and police offices used to securely process detainees.

“It’s a project that has been postponed for decades, but we are getting it done for safety. the public and our police and court personnel,” said Supervisor Tom Diana. “The handicapped parking was on almost a 45-degree angle, which made it very difficult for individuals who were mobility impaired. That’s one of the major items we’re changing.”

The rehabilitation plan for the complex reduces heat-trapping paved surfaces. New landscaping will replace a retaining wall and some of the steps to beautify the entrance and create a greener environment.

The Town Board awarded a $582,630 contract to Con-Tech Construction Technology, Inc. in June to perform the work. In January, the Town Board voted to rename the police plaza the in honor of Police Captain Kenneth Sgroi, who died Jan. 2 from a brief illness.
