We’ve had really good luck hiring local talent. A lot of our work is construction, outdoors-based, and there’s a workforce here in St. Lawrence County that can respond to that. But also there’s a very technical nature to our work and so - having universities close - we’ve been able to hire engineers & craftspeople from the universities to come and work for the company.
