WATCH: Upgrades to Metro-North Repair and Support Shops Completed

Starting in 2001, the project utilized state and federal funding to make upgrades. These include equipping the facility with “a dozen car-hoists, four pedestal tracks, and multiple door level and roof level platforms to assist in the preventive maintenance.” According to the release, the second floor was designed to create a better and more streamlined distribution process through the integration of a service corridor between three buildings.

Heart of the Hudson Girl Scouts Bring Project to Life, Planting First of Ahern Blvd. Beautiful Memorial Cherry Trees
Washingtonville - A favorite project of Mayor Tom Devinko's has been to start a planting of memorial cherry trees along Ahern Boulevard in the Village of Washingtonville. Those who donate the funds for the trees can have a plaque installed in memory of someone particular on their tree if they wish. It's part of a larger plan to expand the existing road into a more traditional "Boulevard" by widening the walkways, thus making it suitable for several people to walk abreast, and possibly even allow skateboarding and scooters at times, and in essence make Ahern even more of the beautiful boulevard that it already is. Since Ahern includes an entrance to Veterans Memorial Park, the historic Brotherhood Winery, Country Kids Food Pantry and L.Vern Allen Event-Playground and Sport sites, and is surrounded by several young family neighborhoods, it is already a long and well used stretch of sidewalk with meaningful village views. For this community to look forward to a long stretch of spectacular cherry blooms every Spring will contribute toward making it one of the enticing walkable community spaces that Washingtonville wants for its future.
