BINGHAMTON — Ben Weitsman of Binghamton has launched a $5 million renovation and upgrade project at its scrap yard facility.
“This multi-million dollar upgrade will bring the Binghamton yard in line with the high level of quality, service, and environmental protection that our customers and neighbors expect from Ben Weitsman,” owner Adam Weitsman said in a release. “This is an investment in our customers to accommodate increased customer traffic and give them the best experience possible when they come to our yard.”
Work will include the demolition of old buildings, construction of new ones, landscaping, and paving. Ben Weitsman will use temporary structures during the project so that the facility at 10 Brandywine St. remains open during construction.
