Hey dirty, not *that* kind of action!
It looks like the $121 million in Recovery Act money (seismic upgrade) is starting to be used at 50 UN Plaza. Lumber has been appearing over that last several days, and now there is a forklift parked at the back of the building. Another positive aspect of the work that is being done…there is additional security around the vacant building.
I spoke with someone from GSA a few months back, and she told me the plan was to start surveying / planning now, and that the actual construction would start in the fall of 2010 (if all goes well). I suspect the lumber pile is to build scaffolding to survey the building etc.
I’ve searched the web for a resource on the status of the project, but can’t find anything. Anyone, anyone?
