County Executive Lamont G. McClure and the Northampton County Department of Human Services will hold a ceremony for the new Daycare Center at Gracedale Nursing Home on Tuesday, July 25, 2023, at 2:00 p.m.

The County has partnered with USA Architects to design the project, which entails converting the first floor of the vacant Southeast Wing into a daycare. There would be no cost for the daycare services for Gracedale, Emergency Operations Center, and Forensic Center employees. The Learning Locomotion will operate the daycare. The County anticipates construction to start in July.

The total cost of the project is $562,399, split among three contracts:

• General Contractor – CMG of Easton, Inc.
• Mechanical (HVAC) – JBM Mechanical
• Electrical – Billitier Electric

County Executive Lamont McClure, Northampton County Director of Human Services Susan Wandalowski, and Gracedale Administrator Jennifer Stewart will provide remarks and take questions from the press.
