North Castle Officials and The Engel Burman Group Celebrate Restoration of Town Landmark
Armonk, NY (PRWEB) April 30, 2014 -- North Castle officials and representatives from The Engel Burman Group, developer of The Bristal at Armonk assisted living community, gathered to celebrate the restoration of a Town landmark – the Armonk Eagle.
Located at the intersection of Routes 22 and 128, the iconic 40-foot long wooden eagle that has been welcoming residents and visitors to the hamlet for nearly four decades has been replaced with an identical new eagle made from aluminum. The Engel Burman Group donated $25,000 to the Town to replace the wooden eagle which was in disrepair. The original wooden eagle was erected in 1976 to celebrate the nation’s Bicentennial.
Speaking at a ceremony held April 28 at the site of the new eagle, Jan Burman, President of The Engel Burman Group, said, “We are delighted to make possible the restoration of this iconic American Eagle, a symbol of our nation’s freedom that has served as a gateway to Armonk for the past 38 years. One of the guiding principles of our company is to be an active and contributing member of the communities where we operate. When we learned about the need for restoring this historic landmark, we immediately decided this is something we should do. And we’re so glad we did!”
“The Town of North Castle is deeply grateful to The Engel Burman Group and The Bristal at Armonk for making the restoration of this cherished landmark a reality. On behalf of all of our residents, I thank you for your generous contribution to our Town and wish you the best of success with your new assisted living community,” said North Castle Town Supervisor Michael Schiliro.
Following the ceremony, The Bristal at Armonk hosted a luncheon for Town officials and other invited guests.
