Willett Builders Inc., Participates in Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for North Tonawanda Park Improvements
BUFFALO, NY, August 7, 2019 (Source URL via The Buffalo News, https://buffalonews.com/2019/08/07/park-improvements-funded-by-buffalo-billion-ii-completedin-north-tonawanda/) - Willett Builders, Inc., a full service construction firm comprised of contracting, construction management, and fabrication divisions participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the completion of state-funded improvements in North Tonawanda’s Gateway Harbor Park, on the banks of the Erie Canal at Webster and Sweeny streets.
The city used $2.5 million in “smart growth” funds for Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Buffalo Billion II initiative, and $800,000 from other state programs, to construct a new harbor master facility, extended dockage with upgraded hookups, improved lighting and picnic facilities.
“There were countless details involved in this project, with many great teams coming together to produce a result that thousands will be proud of and enjoy in North Tonawanda & Western New York,” said Willett Builders, Inc. owner, Ryan Willett.
“Gateway Harbor and the Erie Canal have been the driving force for growth and development of Weber Street and downtown North Tonawanda,” Mayor Arthur G. Pappas said.
"The Smart Growth Community Fund uses targeted, strategic investments to deliver on improvements for neighborhoods throughout Western New York," Cuomo said in a statement.
"This investment will give the community a park with modern, accessible facilities and more attractive features, which will help bolster tourism for North Tonawanda and the region as a whole."
The city also leveraged the money to improve the appearance of streets and pocket parks; place four improved pedestrian crossings on River Road; install signs and visual improvements at downtown entry points; and help with the renovation of the YWCA of the Niagara Frontier on Tremont Street.
