Lehigh Northeast Cement Celebrates 115 Years

Just a short 115 years ago, Lehigh Northeast Cement began operations in Glens Falls. Today, the company celebrated this incredible milestone with a birthday party to which the entire community was invited. Coopers Cave Ale Company provided a commemorative Lehigh Cement Strawberry Soda and ice cream complete with chocolate "rocks" and marshmellow "cement" for toppings. Rainer's Gourmet Inspiration provided an outstanding lunch and, of course, four cakes that were cut by Senator Betty Little, Mayor Roy Akins, the ARCC's Todd Shimkus, Christine McDonald from the Crandall Library and Stuart Guinther, Lehigh's GM.

Besides food, entertainment, balloons, and face painting, the company provided tours of their 900 acre operation which included a crossing on one of only two privately owned bridges to cross the Hudson River. The line for the tour showed just how popular this unique birthday party was and just how important Lehigh Northeast Cement is to this community. Congratulations and Happy 115th Lehigh Northeast Cement.
