A section of roof on one of the buildings at Taconic in Petersburgh collapsed from snow load on Tuesday, February 8, at 8:10 am. The building affected is across the road from Taconic’s main manufacturing plant, and it is used for inventory storage.
The company reacted quickly. By noon Wednesday, the affected area, a 60′ x16′ section of the shed, had been removed, the inventory formerly stored there had been relocated to other buildings on Taconic’s campus and cleanup operations were in full swing.
