In reply to Emily.

BOCES-Yorktown,isn’t a political “creature”,more of a way to offer
instruction in the “trades” that isn’t done at local schools.
The only problem will be the money needed and final location
on county land.
I’m long removed from local politics,so i have no idea how
mucked up the county is!

In reply to Backshophoss. Yeah, don't get me wrong, a replacement is certainly better than nothing. Hopefully that idea doesn't die in politics somewhere along the way.

It stinks that Millwood was razed,but if the reports I’ve read hold true
most if not all of the structure was rotted out or termite infested.
Yorktown still stands and can be used as a guide to rebuild the
“replacement” station by the student crews at BOCES-Yorktown.
I didn’t see a timeline on when the “replacement” will be built.

Because the structure was on private land, it hadn’t been land-marked, and the public support with ever shrinking funds wasn’t there, could there have been any other outcome?

Well, when they apply, they mean it sadly. Just bites that I worked on NY 120’s Wikipedia article last night at Millwood and mentioned the old station.

RIP Millwood.
