Angelo DelSignore Courthouse expected to reopen Thursday

Posted
and last updated

The Angelo DelSignore Civic Building is expected to reopen Thursday morning. It closed today due to "building environmental issues" which turned out to be dust from a construction project. 

Test results arrived late Tuesday afternoon indicating the dust material did contain traces of asbestos. The asbestos levels were determined by AMD Environmental Consultants to be less than 1 percent, which sits below the safety threshold set by the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the U.S. EPA.

The building will be closed Wednesday to allow time for proper clean-up. All court matters set for Wednesday at the DelSignore courthouse will be adjudicated at the Niagara Falls City Court on 1925 Main St.
