Posted

AKWESASNE -- The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe on Aug. 1 held a ribbon-cutting for their new Planning & Infrastructure Division at 2817 State Route 95.

The $2.6 million, 11,600-square-foot building provides workspace for construction staff and includes five large garage bays, eight work stations, a conference room and two locker rooms.

It was designed in accordance with NYS’s Energy Conservation Construction Code and includes high-efficiency lighting and sensors, a radiant floor heating system and roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels, as well as two distinct areas separated by a fire-rated wall, according to the tribe. Planning & Infrastructure Director Ernie Thompson cut the ribbon as community members viewed the new facility.

The event also included an open house and tours.
