COLTS

L.R. Costanzo Co., Inc. (LRC) served as the General Contractor for the construction of Lackawanna County’s (COLTS) new, $60 million, 115,000 square foot transit facility. Featuring expansive administrative and operations areas, the structure provides substantial maintenance space, along with bus and van storage facilities. In addition, there are bus and bus chasse wash areas, vehicle lifts, and a new fueling station, including an above ground tank. Currently, the team is demolishing the original COLTS building, converting it to additional outside parking and adding two, water retention ponds.
