Port Chester OKs Bond To Repair Retaining Wall
The village trustees approved some, but not all, of the money needed to fully fix the retaining wall.
PORT CHESTER, NY — The Village of Port Chester plans to repair a retaining wall along the waterfront that is collapsing into the Byram River. The village trustees approved a bonding in the amount of $3.8 million for the project which could cost more than $8 million.
The threat of collapse has prevented a public walkway running behind the parking area for Costco from being used since 2010, the Journal News said.
A village planning official said more funds could be authorized next year.
