Police Department Remodeling
Long Overdue…
The Police Department has called the basement of the Village Hall
“home” since 1935. Like everything else, it grew old and did not
age gracefully. Despite several facelifts over the years, it was
never able to recapture its youth, until 2012.
The remodeling of the police station came as a result of Chief
Wentz approaching area businesses for donations to assist in,
what started out to be, another simple facelift. However, when the
Lowe’s manager, Al Rito, stopped by to personally see our
dilemma, he stepped up and spearheaded a project that eventually
drew in other home improvement companies and area contractors.
Collectively, these businesses donated in excess of $50,000.00 in
materials and labor. And, no one did more than The Farrow
Group. John Kuznik and his staff literally took the station down to
its bare walls and floors, then brought in their own contractors
and did a makeover that would have made Bob Villa proud. CT
Electric rewired the entire police station and installed all new
lighting and camera systems; Taylor Construction put up new
drywall, drop ceilings, and cabinets; the painters did what painters
do best, and Walton Hills Collision painted and clear-coated all of
the doors. Finally, EverStone Floors came in and laid down a new
epoxy stone floor. The results were incredible.
There is not enough time or space to thank everyone involved, but
we are eternally grateful for the contributions made to this project.
We are forever in your debt. Thank you.
