MASSENA -- Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation employees were recently recognized by SLSDC Administrator Betty Sutton at an awards ceremony.

Those who have attained years-of-employment milestones for Seaway and for federal employment were honored.

Some employees have more years of Federal employment than Seaway employment because they have been employed in other federal positions, or they have been credited with Federal employment for time served in the military.
