According to Mr. Russo, obtaining competent contractors to work on Roosevelt Island is extremely difficult which contributed to delays in completing the Sportspark renovation on schedule.



RIOC President Susan Rosenthal added that Sportspark should open in Mid January 2017 when heat becomes available for the facility.

The Sportspark renovations include installation of a new roof, a new boiler and repairs to the pool.
