About Schenectady

The city of Schenectady lies along the banks of the Mohawk River and was once called "The City that Lights and Hauls the World" as home to General Electric and the American Locomotive Company. Today, the city has undergone a renaissance with a reinvigorated downtown that features new hotels, restaurants, and apartments along with the addition of Mohawk Harbor and the Rivers Casino & Resort. Our offices are located in a central location on Erie Boulevard, just a short walk away from Mohawk Harbor, Little Italy, Union Street, Downtown, and the historic Stockade District.
