There was a lot of good feeling in July, when practically every local lawmaker showed up to escort Governor Pataki on a tour of the Kingsbridge Armory.

But, as far as we know, not one positive development has come from that meeting more than 15 weeks ago — 106 days to be exact.

The problem, as Armory watchers and Norwood News readers well know, is fairly simple. Two National Guard companies, now based out of the Armory’s annex to the rear of the Armory main’s buildings — the massive drill hall and head house — must be moved if community plans for the landmark facility are to be realized.

The land that annex occupies is the only part of the Armory where the city can site new public schools. Schools are the linchpin of a consensus finally arrived at last year by community residents and elected and city officials.

The main problem appears to be that no one seems to want to take the lead on finding a new location for the Guard. The city and state appear to think that it is the other’s job.

Mostly, though, it seems that aside from some local politicians, no city or state official particularly cares all that much what happens at the Armory.

We hope that once the mayoral election is over, Mayor Bloomberg will re-direct some of the laser-beam focus his administration applied to the West Side stadium project to goals more achievable and desired by ordinary New Yorkers. The Armory, which has the benefit of already being in the city’s inventory, would seem to be the kind of local economic development project our businessman mayor would seize on with relish.

We expect we’ll now need to wait until Bloomberg retools his administration — or Fernando Ferrer introduces his — in January to see any new movement on the Armory front.

In the meantime, the Armory Clock keeps on ticking …
