MLB Construction, established in 1947 in Albany, under the name McManus, Longe, Brockwehl Inc., is celebrating 75 years in business.

Operations  started  from  the  attic  of  the  Longe  household. Throughout  the  years the  company expanded, changing its name to MLB Industries in the mid-1970s, and later to MLB Construction Services LLC.

As it celebrates its landmark anniversary, James M. Dawsey, MLB president, said the company is “in the process of our next leadership/succession transition. This should take care of MLB Construction for the next 20-30 years. Based on what this next team has learned, it will make it easy for them to do their transition after this one.”

He said the company “will continue to do what we do well—higher education, K-12, medical, resorts and historic renovations. We are also licensed up and down the east coast and will continue to build in these markets. 

“We also plan to push into the housing market, both affordable and market rate. We want to continue to grow our design-build side in all the above markets.”

Entrepreneur Plans To Open Woodworking Shop That People Can Use For Projects

Posted onOctober 10, 2022
Former Saratoga Children’s Museum is being converted for a new venture.

By Paul Post

John Haller never eases into anything.

Fresh out of RPI, he co-founded MapInfo, a tech-based company that quickly grew to 1,000 employees, went public and is now a division of Pitney-Bowes. Then he launched SportsSignUp, an online firm designed to help groups create, grow and manage youth sports programs. It was purchased by Time Inc. and is now called Sports Illustrated Play.

But upon moving to Saratoga Springs, Haller purchased a grand old Victorian home on Union Avenue, and while helping out with renovations he discovered a brand new passion for woodworking.

Leaving software development behind, he’s made an 180-degree about face by jumping into a more blue collar, hands-on type venture called Saratoga Joinery.  Plans call for converting the former Saratoga Children’s Museum at 69 Caroline St., which he purchased for $2 million, into a full-scale community woodworking shop for people to gather, learn about this activity and work on projects of their own.

Much like tech development, Haller said woodworking involves great deal of creative problem solving, just the kind of challenge he enjoys tackling.

“In the end, with software, you have something that works, a program,” he said. “What’s cool with woodworking is that you have something you can actually show people they can understand, like a piece of furniture, something you built. You get to use your hands, feel things, smell things. I find that really super.”

Albany Med To Rebrand Hospitals In Its System, Including Saratoga And Glens Falls

Posted onOctober 10, 2022

The Albany Med Health System is embarking on an evolution of its brand to reflect the unity of its member organizations and its commitment to provide the widest range of medical and surgical services to patients across northeastern New York.

Albany Medical Center, Columbia Memorial Health, Glens Falls Hospital, Saratoga Hospital, and the Visiting Nurses will now share a common visual identity anchored by the Albany Med Health System name and logo. 

This representation draws upon the identity of Albany Medical Center as the region’s academic medical and tertiary care center. It also conveys the collaborative extension of adult and pediatric specialties from the hospital to community-based locations and to the home.

“Our people are the backbone of our brand,” said Albany Med Health System President and CEO Dr. Dennis P. McKenna. “We are one team, 16,000 professionals strong, standing ready to care for the three million people of our region. When patients see the Albany Med Health System brand, they can rest assured they have a direct connection to the most advanced quality services and the largest team of health care experts from the Mid-Hudson Valley to the North Country. We are partners along every step of the journey—because good health makes anything possible.”

“A common, integrated electronic medical record platform will play a key role in fulfilling the promise of the Albany Med Health System: increased collaboration, more timely diagnoses and enhanced, coordinated care,” said Saratoga Hospital President and CEO Jill Johnson VanKuren. “Once the platform is in place, every patient at every system location will benefit.”

Unified Beerworks at 7 Old Stonebreak Road in Malta has added a kitchen featuring Mexican and South American-inspired dishes. Co-owner Erika Anderson describes the menu as “high-end gourmet tacos” and burritos. 

The kitchen opened with little fanfare in late May and business grew  slowly. 

“It took a little bit for people to know we were out here,” Anderson said. It also gave the owners and chef Michele Hunter a chance to work out the details.

Anderson and her husband and co-owner, Jeff Gannon, began Unified Beerworks as a taproom and tasting room in 2018. Beer is brewed on site. 

According to their website, Gannon prefers hazy New England-style IPAs and and stouts. Anderson is more into “fruity sours and funky saisons.” Brewing began as a hobby and turned into a passion. She was a computer science major with a minor in art and he studied biology.
