DeLancey Hall renovation change orders and procurement

North Salem, NY

Summary

The town is spending another $33,907 on change orders to finish the DeLancey Hall interior — carpet removal, wall and plaster repair. Councilwoman Daniels argues the work should have been competitively bid under the procurement policy; the supervisor says union labor rates drive the cost and the project needs to wrap up by October.
