Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority

A special thanks to the New York State Department of Labor and SUNY Canton for organizing and hosting the NYS Registered Apprenticeship Seminar. We attended with one of our tenant companies in the Commerce Park Campus to learn more about the program and how it can aid in workforce development for our area manufacturers. To learn more about the program please visit https://lnkd.in/eTNeMWCW and https://lnkd.in/dvhfRFi

Members of our Board and staff had the privilege of attending the grand opening of the Seaway Visitor Center at Eisenhower Lock! Congratulations to the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation for a project well done - this is certainly a proud day and an asset for our community!

The Port of Ogdensburg is looking forward to a great 2024 Navigation Season!!!

It was an honor and privilege to have New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez, Regional Director Ken Bibbins, Assemblyman Scott Gray, St. Lawrence County Chair David Forsythe, Ogdensburg Mayor Mike Tooley, and other very distinguished guests celebrate the OGS Gateway Improvement Project groundbreaking!  This project aligns perfectly with our mission of maintaining and improving major infrastructure assets in Northern New York and something we are all very proud of.  Thank you for your support and for sharing in the vision of a better OGS!

The OBPA Board Chairperson and Executive Director, along with our engineering team from McFarland Johnson, had the pleasure of presenting our OGS Terminal Gateway Improvement Project to the new City of Ogdensburg Council last night. We are greatly appreciative of the opportunity to discuss this vital project for our community with the Council and look forward to partnering with them on this and the many projects to come!    

It is an honor to showcase local artists such as Jason at our facilities!

Best wishes for a safe, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

Congratulations to our long-time partner, the Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority, New York, on their recent $5.1M U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) grant to complete the expansion of the port’s main dock terminal and deepen the harbor. We are proud to have assisted the port with the grant and are honored to serve as their engineering consultant and grant manager on this vital project. By deepening the harbor, improving the dock, and expanding storage, two or more ships will be able to enter the port and unload their cargo, rather than one ship at a time, vastly improving the efficiency of transporting larger quantities of cargo. Grant programs like U.S. DOT MARAD make critical infrastructure and environmental improvements like this possible. Foth provides strategic funding expertise, together with project planning and engineering, to clients on the east and west coasts, and the Great Lakes. To date, we've helped secure over $50M of the total $168.9M PIDP grant funding since the program began in 2019. We have been partners on one third of all grants awarded throughout the Great Lakes. We’re grateful for the opportunity to help bring these “wins” to our client partners!
