Grant Paves Way For Yorktown Street's Resurfacing
A mile and a half of one street will be repaved with the funds.
YORKTOWN, NY — One of Yorktown's busiest thoroughfares is getting a facelift, courtesy of a $250,000 grant driven home by Senator Terrence Murphy. Presently, Quinlan Street is a bumpy ride with sections of rough road. A mile and a half of Quinlan Street will soon be repaved, giving it a smooth, safer surface.
Standing at the intersection of Quinlan and Louella streets amidst busy mid-day traffic, Senator Murphy recently presented Yorktown Highway Superintendent Dave Paganelli with a check to fund Quinlan Street's new look.
"Investing in our infrastructure means more jobs, a more vibrant economy and protects our home values," Murphy said. "Quinlan Street is a major artery that runs from Guiding Eyes for the Blind to the Jefferson Valley Mall. We're here today to make a lot of people in Yorktown happy with the news that driving down Quinlan Street is going to feel a whole lot better."
