Greenacres+Construction+-+Jeremy+&+Sean

As you arrive at Greenacres Elementary school in Scarsdale New York, everything appears ordinary from the outside; however, inside things are anything but normal. The floor is striped down to the bare wood, piles of cracked tiles line the hallways, and clouds of dust invade the air.

All the floors are being replaced here at Greenacres and although this sounds like an improved renovation, the process carries many overwhelming challenges as well as concerns. The construction company started the job later than planned, so the question remains: Will the school be ready on opening day? I am standing here with the Principal of Greenacres, Mr. Old.

Mr. Old do you think the school will be ready to open on September 8th. SOT - (Mr. Old)-The construction company began the job a month late, I don't expect they will be able to finish the job before the deadline. I am not sure what caused this delay, but now we must deal with it.

A member of Greenacres custodial staff was asked, is this typical of school construction projects? SOT - (Arnie Custodian) - Listen, we been ready for them for months. It's normal to be behind on a construction job, but I mean this is "beep" RIDICULOUS! ??????-I ain't ever seen nothing like this!!!

The question still looms: When Tuesday, September 8th rolls around will the hallways be filled with students eager to learn or construction workers wearing hardhats. Reporting live from Brewster Road in Scarsdale New York. This is Jeremy & Sean signing off.
