  COMMEMORATING THE SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF LeCHASE CONSTRUCTION

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 2019

  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, today I rise to commemorate the seventy-
fifth anniversary of LeChase Construction.
  Established in 1944 by Raymond F. LeChase, LeChase Construction is a 
full-service construction management and general construction firm. 
With humble beginnings, LeChase Construction began as a small family 
operation to fill the local demand for construction work during World 
War II. Today LeChase employs more than seven hundred and fifty 
employees and ranks among the nation's top contractors.
  LeChase prides itself of offering the capabilities of a large firm 
while maintaining the personalized service of a small firm. For the 
last twenty years, LeChase's Southern Tier operations, headquartered in 
Corning, New York, has provided people from the region with the 
expertise and high quality of service that LeChase is known for. From 
Chautauqua to Elmira and down to central Pennsylvania, LeChase has 
earned the respect of repeat clients, who account for nearly ninety 
percent of the region's work. Vice President Fred Thompson credits that 
earned respect to their track record of delivering successful projects 
and the hardworking, down-to-earth people of the Southern Tier.
  Seventy-five years of serving the community is certainly a cause for 
celebration. I congratulate LeChase on this impressive milestone and 
look forward to their continued success in the years to come.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary 
of LeChase Construction.
