New York halts most construction
On March 27th The Real Deal reported that “after facing pressure from city officials and workers, the state is shutting down all construction except work on infrastructure, healthcare facilities and affordable housing…The Empire State Development Corp. updated its guidelines Friday, saying only work on “roads, bridges, transit facilities, utilities, hospitals or health care facilities, affordable housing, and homeless shelters” will be considered essential. The qualification is a dramatic change from the blanket exemption included in an executive order Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed last week. Under the order, employees of all non-essential businesses are prohibited from reporting to work”.

A Season-by-Season Guide to Your Home Maintenance Schedule
Now that we are all (hopefully) remaining responsibly and safely at home, it might be a good time to revisit our home maintenance practices. With that theme in mind, on March 19th AAA Northeast reported that “home maintenance is about more than keeping your house and yard looking great. It conserves your property value and prevents costly insurance losses. Every season has its challenges, so get ahead of the game with a solid plan”.
