The City of Kingston will award the bid for the signboard construction work to repair 22 storefronts on N. Front and Wall Streets, which will replace the temporary water/ice shield and finish the façades on affected buildings.

The project, which will repair the area where the Pike Plan canopy was previously attached to the building, will be awarded to Gallo Construction. Work is expected to begin in September and is expected to be completed by the end of October.

Mayor Noble said, “We are pleased to make this award, after an unsuccessful round of bidding that delayed the signboard project getting started. Now that we have a contractor in place, all involved will be moving quickly to get this work going. Though we are behind the original schedule, we are committed to getting this work done expeditiously. We know everyone is ready to see Uptown Kingston in all its glory, and we thank everyone for their patience.”

After the Pike Plan removal, the City of Kingston gave settlements to property owners for repairs to their facades. The City also provided property owners with the option to have the City provide a signboard to the area where the canopy was attached.

In addition to the settlements and the offer for signboard work, the City awarded 13 Minor Exterior Improvements Grants to Stockade Business District property owners for signage and awnings. All applicants were awarded. To date, the Planning Office has fast-tracked 36 projects for properties along N. Front & Wall Streets.

Property owners choosing to move forward with their own façade restoration work will have the support of the City of Kingston’s Planning Office with historic design resources that follow Historic Landmark Preservation Commission (HLPC) guidelines.

The Planning Office can be reached at 845-334-3955 or [email protected]. Fees associated with the signage and façade reviews will be waived until October 2027.
