Verticon handled general contractor role for new Warwick Transit Station

MONROE — Verticon, the Monroe-based construction company, played a role as general contractor in the creation of the newly opened $2.7 million Warwick Transit Station in the Town of Warwick.
“The Warwick Transit Station serves as a great example of when government entities and local firms work together to make a positive difference in the lives of many people," said Verticon President and CEO Alan Zuckerman. "It’s also another example of Verticon’s commitment to advancing the quality of life in the communities where we work.”
The 9,500 square foot pre-engineered building is located at 63 Public Works Drive in Warwick and officially opened on Aug. 7 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by state, county and town and village officials in addition to community and business leaders.
“This is the most vibrant transit center in Orange County,” said Warwick Town Supervisor Michael Sweeton during the ceremony. “Warwick is the first hub in ‘the spoke program’ in Orange County.”
Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus praised the team effort that made the new transit station a reality. He noted that while Orange County has transportation challenges, a solid transportation system is vital to the county’s economy.
The Warwick Transit Station exemplifies the commitment of federal, state, county, town and village officials to improve local transportation to meet the needs of Warwick and surrounding communities, he added.
Ninety percent of costs were financed by Federal Transportation Capital Funds, secured through the efforts of former U.S. Rep. Sue Kelly. Orange County firms designed and constructed the building under a project labor agreement using Orange County trades labor.
