Sessler Companies, founded in 1958, had a busy and successful year in 2024. The remodeling of their Waterloo NY building showcased their commitment to making Waterloo their headquarters, remaining active in community engagement. In early 2024 it was announced that Sessler Wrecking would be launching their Southeast Division in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their work with Seneca Lake Resorts to expand the marina and add a mini golf course at Sampson State Park showcased one of the biggest projects in Seneca County.
