Health Alliance of the Hudson Valley - Mary's Avenue Campus Construction update:  
We will begin blasting rock on the Mary’s Avenue Campus this Friday, June 12 and not infrequently thereafter, Monday through Friday, between 9 am and 5 pm. Rarely will this occur more than twice on any given day. 

The site contractor for this project is Merritt Construction of Saugerties, NY; the blasting contractor is Alpha Drilling & Blasting of Queensbury, NY. 

In accordance with the Kingston Blasting Permit requirements, the contractor is required to notify property owners within the 300 feet of the anticipated blasting area. There are no neighbors within that distance, but as a courtesy, we are communicating to the community.   

For each blast, we will alert the Fire Department 1 hour before. We will then sound 3 horn blasts 5 minutes before and 2 horn blasts 1 minute before the actual blast. The blast will sound and feel like the rumble of thunder. Once blasting is complete, a single long horn blast will sound the all-clear.   

We expect this will go on for about 1 month—finishing in mid- to late-July. We will soon have time lapse-photography on our website showing the progress at the site. Meanwhile, we have construction photos available at https://healthalliancehospitalmacmarysavenu.smugmug.com/
