One is an addition and a renovation and the other is a smaller renovation, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Also starting soon are some interior renovations for Greenwich Library.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><span class=\"\"><b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\u201cThey are modernizing a number of rooms,\u201d said Alessandrini. \u201cWe have done a half dozen projects for them over the years and they are a good customer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There have been other recent library projects. The company put a sizable addition onto the Valley Falls Library and did a project with Easton Library. Alessandrini said he has been working with Schaghticoke Library recently to secure a grant to move the entire library to the lot next door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project is in the application and fundraising process,\u201d he said. \u201cThey got the phase one funds to buy the lot, but they also need a grant to physically move the building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe library building sits on a high bank that will ultimately slide into the Hoosick River,\u201d he said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also underway is a fast food restaurant in Schenectady and crews are also working in Moreau and Glens Falls. Two Dunkin\u2019 Donuts projects in Clinton County are also scheduled for summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSummer will be busy and a little hectic for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>F.H. Alexander has a tight-knit operation that Alessandrini said people enjoy working for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people who stay, stay,\u201d he said. \u201cWe generally only lose people to retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe value independence but also expect people to respect the company,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a smaller sized construction company but we have the infrastructure to do large projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether a half-million dollar project or five to 10 million, the company aims to give \u201ca better experience for our clients, and a better work environment for our employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alessandrini said his son, Frank H.
