July 12, 2004 - News - $3.9 million contract awarded for new Tenleytown firehouse Engine Company 20 firefighters and emergency medical workers who are permanently assigned to the Tenleytown firehouse have been working in temporary quarters located outside of the immediate neighborhood. Designation of the Tenleytown firehouse as a historic landmark in February 2002, after demolition began, led to changes in building plans and a consequent legal dispute between the D.C. government and the contractor originally hired for the project, HRGM Corp. The original contract, for $2.9 million, called for completion in June 2003. Garcete Construction was selected from among five companies that bid on the project in May. Officials attributed the $1 million increase in the project's total cost to higher prices for steel, higher labor costs and continued deterioration of the site. www.thecommondenominator.com /071204_news7.html   (317 words)

NARPAC-RECENT ANALYSES-Economic Comparisons by Census Tract A half-built communications tower; a half-density group of housing units within walking distance of the Tenleytown Metro; a half-hearted preservation of an obsolete fire house; and a half-baked apartment house growing atop an outdated poured concrete appliance store all testify to the neighborhood's ability to generate nonsensical compromises to needed urban growth.
