Did anyone else notice the scaffolding going up around the beautiful Brooklyn Main Post Office on Adams and Tillary? As far as we can tell, this is most likely the set-up for the $1,340,000 Federal Stimulus project that was awarded to the Boston-based firm Goody Clancey for roof replacement and facade repairs. Good stuff, but not sure why they couldn’t find a local firm to do the work.

  1. I was there by accident when GSA was surveying the facade. Turns out there is considerable damage, especially on the Tillary Street side of the building. Water damage and some bowing of the facade means much of the exterior walls will have to be repaired.

    Does anyone remember when the signs for the reconstruction/renovation first went up? Final completion date was to be Spring, 2001…

  2. Why didn’t they award the contract to a local firm? Not sure, but maybe it has something to do with a competative bid process.

    If they had spend more money to give it to a local firm, idiots like Joe From Brooklyn would accuse the mayor of corruption and favoritism in awarding contracts.

    Funny.
