How often do you need a release after a stressful day? Well, in about 18 months the Village of Scarsdale will have a place for you to go – an underground firing range!

Here on the corner of Post and Fenimore construction workers have been busy preparing for renovations to the Scarsdale Public Safety Building - the first since 1952. Estimated to cost the village 13 million dollars, this renovation will finally bring this building into the 21st century.

Today we have the Scarsdale Police Chief, John Brogan with us, who is very excited about this project.

SOT – “It’s going to be a state-of-the-art-facility and will be designed keeping both the female and male officers in mind,”

Upon completion, 51 full-time police officers and 30 career firefighters will call this home. Female staff members will finally have separate bathrooms, locker rooms and sleeping quarters.

We are also joined by Peter Gaito Jr., president of the firm in charge of the building design.

Mr. Gaito, although residents may find the noise and dust unsightly you have some reassurances?

SOT- “It’s going to look like a big friendly house in the neighborhood.”
