North Tonawanda-Seit For several years, the buyers of the MID-City Plaza are forced to do another activity in search of bargains, cracks, crevices and holes in the parking lot in front of the shops and shops on the popular Payne Avenue Plaza.
This month, the owners have created a project of $ 200,000 to praise parts of the pothole flyer, including sections near the main entrance in Payne Avenue and in the area, which led to Plaza's anchor shop, Toppelt Toppel, in front of Meadow Drive.
Mayor Austin Tylec said that the repair of the parking lot, which was a long -term complaint to many residents of the city, was part of a larger investment that the current owner of the Plaza, which has committed property, Four Points Property Management, at the location. Tylec said that the management had told him that it also intended to spice up the Plaza building with painting, facades, renovations, awning and roof repairs.
“It shows an investment and you want to improve the space what is great,” said Tylec. “I think the residents should be enthusiastic about an owner who invests millions of dollars to improve this long -term place we have in the city.”
The project also helps improve the continuous efforts to improve the general attractiveness and appearance of the Mid City part of North Tonawanda.
Later this year, the city, the construction of a new water center in Payne Park, is planning to start the road down from Mid City Plaza. The 8.2 million dollar project, which includes 4 million US dollars of federal financing and 750,000 US dollars from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, will offer a new lap pool, a diving board, several slides, water jungle -fitness functions and new lockers and bathrooms.
The new aquatic facility will replace the Payne Park Memorial Pool. The pool was originally opened in 1948 as recognition of soldiers who fought in the Second World War, and is one of many so-called “Bintz” pools Oberndian, ovoid pools, which was designed by Michigan-Born Wesley Bintz in cities and cities across the country by the 1950s. It will also lead to the raindrop spray Pool of Payne Park, a Watpool that offers about 2,000 square feet of water surface, mainly for younger children.
Tylec said that the new in-floor pool will have something that the old model did not have over the ground, and that is the adherence to the access standards specified by the Americans with disabilities act, a federal law, the discrimination against people with disabilities in all areas of public life.
“We are working there to connect the park there again and hope that the Plaza owners would really see this as an incentive to continue to invest in their property,” said TyleC. “We have undertaken to improve the area there, and we told you that we would also like to have commitment from you.”
