POTSDAM -- LaBella Associates, an international architecture, engineering, environmental, and planning firm, has acquired Tisdel Associates, a long-standing North Country consulting engineering firm.

Established in 1969, with roots dating back to 1963, Tisdell has more than 50 years of experience supporting municipal, educational, healthcare, industrial, and commercial clients throughout the region, a press release from LaBella said. 

LaBella said the acquisition strengthens its presence across New York State while expanding its technical expertise and local resources in Potsdam, Canton, Massena, Ogdensburg and surrounding North Country communities. 

The Tisdel team will join LaBella and continue serving clients throughout the region as the firm prepares to relocate into a new, larger Potsdam office to support continued growth, LaBella said. 

Tisdel traditionally provides civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering services for K-12 schools, municipalities, healthcare organizations, industrial facilities, and commercial clients. 

The acquisition comes amid significant momentum for LaBella across the region, where the firm continues to support a growing portfolio of projects tied to housing, downtown revitalization, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and community development, the firm said. 

In Potsdam, recent and ongoing projects include the Village of Potsdam Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) improvements, the redevelopment of Congdon Hall into senior housing, the North Country Children’s Museum, SUNY Potsdam renovation projects, and infrastructure improvements such as Brooks Street reconstruction.

“For more than five decades, our team has taken pride in providing responsive service, sound engineering guidance, and long-term solutions for communities across the North Country,” said Aaron Jarvis, Sr. Civil Engineer and Team Leader, Tisdel Associates. “By joining LaBella, we’re able to maintain the relationships and local commitment our clients value, while offering access to expanded resources, specialized expertise, and a broader network of professionals.”
