And-heh- there’s still a little tweak they have to make, so that after-hours, everyone can buzz themselves in. In the meantime, they’re keeping the door to the foyer open so it won’t impede after hours transactions.

This is a great job and Citizen’s Bank Regional Manager, Roxann Cooke, deserves alot of credit. Alderman Taylor also helped, by putting in an order for DPW to respond to the construction company’s request for the go-ahead (after a time of no-response). And it looks like Santini Corporation (the construction Co.) did a great job also.
