Endicott Forging to be Demolished Beginning Today

State and local officials gathered at the site of the former Endicott 
Forging facility on North Street and Hayes Avenue in Endicott today to 
announce the beginning of the demolition and cleanup process on the 
property. Last year, the Village of Endicott applied to the State's 
Restore NY Communities Initiative program and was awarded $800,000 to 
clear the site of the aging, dilapidated buildings.

"This area has long been an eyesore for our community and a drain on the 
overall landscape," said Endicott Mayor John Bertoni. "Without these 
Restore NY funds, we could not have cleaned up this site. We are 
thankful to New York State for this important program and we look 
forward to finally having this corner of our Village cleared and ready 
for new development."

"The demolition of Endicott Forging will be the fruition of a 
substantial amount of work on the part of the County and I expect it to 
be the first of several successes from our on-going brownfield program," 
said Executive Barbara J. Fiala.

Broome County committed $50,000 of county brownfield cleanup funds 
towards this cleanup effort.
