“We were thrilled by the incredible turnout from our many friends and valued clients,” said Patrick Lynch, PE, president of OLA Consulting Engineers. “It is an honor to celebrate this milestone which reflects the enduring relationships we’ve created and the support we’ve received in Westchester County and the Hudson Valley. We’re looking forward to moving our headquarters to a beautiful new space at the Summit next month.”
