Johnson City, NY
Active Johnson City Central School District project, plus the 246 Main Street mixed-use adaptive reuse, the project that Mike Tokos personally walked the Village Planning Board through in August 2021.
Overview
Tokos Contracting works actively in the Village of Johnson City. The current scope of record is an emergency carpentry-trade project for the Johnson City Central School District at the elementary/middle school complex on Columbia Drive (NYS DOL PRC #2025008550), with multi-week certified payroll filed on the public-works register.
On the private commercial side, 246 Main Street, a Central Business District mixed-use adaptive reuse, was presented by Mike Tokos in person to the Village of Johnson City Planning Board on August 24, 2021. The project was reviewed for design conformance to the CBD standards: historic-look storefront restoration on the ground floor with apartments above. It sits inside the broader Main Street corridor portfolio that runs across both Binghamton and Johnson City.
For new commercial scopes, tenant improvement, restaurant build-out, mixed-use renovation, façade and storefront work, Johnson City is part of the day-to-day Broome County service area. The Binghamton office is roughly 10 minutes from downtown Johnson City.
