'Our systems we have in place on the project management side, information flows seamlessly throughout this office, as well as to the architect, to the owners on the project so that everybody's up to speed and everything is current and up to date,' said Gangemi. Gangemi says Fahs prides itself on supporting local non-profits such as the YWCA and Broome County Community Charities. He says it's currently looking to expand the amount of work it does for the private sector.
