The Reconstruction of The Boys & Girls Club

The Boys & Girls Club in Locust Valley is undergoing major reconstruction that started August 1st, 2019
The Boys & Girls Club is an after-school program for kids K-12 that gives kids a place to go while their parents are at work
The building is adding a third level to accommodate for the increase in kids attending
The program has had to relocate the kids to churches in the area to keep the organization open during the construction process
Many people in the community are worried that the reconstruction will increase the programs cost
The Boys & Girls Club is also expanding outwards to add a dance studio, kitchen and cafeteria, fitness room, and many more
To create more room parking spots, they are relocating the playground and baseball field
The cost of the redesign is around $10 million
The administration is cramped in with the storage of furniture, games, and decorations in the downstairs gym of the boys and girls club, the only room to be untouched by the reconstruction so far
The project is moving as quickly as possible and is expected to be done September of 2020 if there are no further delays
