Two cities, two finish lines, and a whole lot of team pride.

Our Albany team ran the CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge, and our Syracuse team took on the Syracuse Workforce Run.

It is moments like these that remind us why EDR is such a special place to work by showing up for each other, supporting one another, and having fun together outside of the day-to-day.

Downtown Syracuse is in full bloom! The annual Hanging Flower Baskets are back.

We look forward to this annual tradition, led by the Downtown Syracuse Committee as part of its community beautification efforts. Launched in 2011 in the Cathedral Square neighborhood, the initiative has since expanded to include Armory Square, Clinton Square, Hanover Square, and the Heart of Downtown neighborhoods — including right in front of our local office.

EDR is a proud partner of the Downtown Committee of Syracuse and the work it does to support our community and create a !

A proud moment for EDR this Memorial Day.

EDR’s Civil Engineering Practice Leader of our Hyannis office, Russ Kleekamp, delivered the keynote address at the ceremony held at Veterans Memorial Park in Orleans, MA. As a Marine Veteran himself, Russ spoke with a personal perspective on the occasion, and we are honored to have him represent our team on this project.

What began as “a drawing on the back of a napkin” has become the newly renovated Veterans Memorial Park, with a meaningful community space featuring walkways, bench seating, new memorials, and engraved bricks honoring America’s veterans.

We are proud to support projects that create lasting places of remembrance, and we thank all who have served.

Anchoring the Boonville Historic District in Boonville, New York, Hulbert House Taproom and Kitchen is the most well-known and recognizable building in the village, standing as the only extant stone inn in Oneida County.

The circa-1812 inn has long been an important way station for travelers between Watertown and Utica, as well as for visitors to the more remote regions of the Adirondacks. Today, it houses a taproom and apartments for seasonal workers in the Adirondacks and Tug Hill.

EDR's historic preservation team recently prepared Part 1 and Part 2 Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit (HRTC) Applications to support the rehabilitation of the inn's first-floor event spaces, ensuring Hulbert House will remain at the center of community life in Boonville.

Our team had the pleasure of attending the Onondaga Historical Association's OHA Medal Breakfast to celebrate the individuals and organizations who have been passionate about preserving and representing Syracuse's history.

Listening to honorees share decades of involvement in this community was a powerful reminder that a better environment isn't built overnight. It's built by people who care deeply about where they live, showing up year after year to protect the history that makes Syracuse a place worth calling home.

We are proud to be a sponsor of this annual event and honored to support an organization whose work reflects our own commitment to creating and sustaining for our communities.

The Coughlin Brothers–Babson Brothers Building in Syracuse has had quite a life. Built in 1927, it began as a confectionery producing chocolate, candy, and marshmallows before WWII sugar rationing closed it down. It later housed Babson Brothers, manufacturing the patented Surge Milker and dairy equipment, followed by Syracuse Restaurant Supply and the Popcorn Supply Company.

Now, EDR’s historic preservation team has helped shape its next chapter by preparing the Part 1 Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit (HRTC) application and a Nomination to the State and National Registers of Historic Places.

Projects like this remind us why Historic matters. It’s the people and the work behind the scenes that keep our history standing.

What was once a factory producing automotive and railway parts for the Lipe-Rollway Co. has been transformed into a modern public safety complex for the Syracuse Police Department and
Syracuse Fire Department. The project uses state and federal Historic Tax Credits to preserve the building’s historic character while creating updated office, support, and training spaces for both departments.

EDR’s historic preservation team worked closely with the development team and the New York State Historic Preservation Office to ensure the building's historic character was maintained while meeting the specialized needs of a public safety complex. Code compliance, demolition of failing auxiliary structures, and removal of toxic materials were factored into the balance of historic rehabilitation, and EDR’s expertise helped the development team successfully navigate these challenges.

Projects like this show how historic preservation can do more than restore buildings. It can help strengthen communities, support investment, and give historic spaces renewed purpose.
