ECA’S MISSION To provide leadership in the construction industry through:
• promotion of a stable labor relations climate
• development and education of a skilled workforce
• encouragement of safety in the workplace
• advancement of economic growth
• being a resource for construction industry data and information
A Message from Eastern Contractors Association President and CEO:
Dear Valued Members:
To say 2020 was a demanding year would be an understatement. As with any challenge,
ECA, our members and construction industry partners met these obstacles and setbacks
with determination and a firm resolve.
Like many of our members, ECA was able to quickly transition to remote work while con-
tinuing to provide solid, timely information key to keeping our members up-to-date regard-
ing the daily changes the pandemic wrought. ECA staff continued to enter projects in our
Online Planroom and offered numerous online webinars related to COVID-19. We held
our first-ever Virtual Wine Tasting event in June and we were able to hold a modified Golf Outing and Sporting Clays
Tournament in person — with safety protocols in mind, of course!
As we enter 2021, it looks like we are seeing light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. We look forward to continuing
to be your resource — as always, reach out to us at anytime and we will be happy to serve you! We look forward to
standing beside our membership as we take on whatever lies ahead.
ECA’s Online Planroom
covers 51 counties in
Upstate New York from
Buffalo to Albany,
Poughkeepsie to Platts-
burgh and Binghamton
to Watertown.
In 2020, 4,458 projects
were posted throughout
our territory.
“We are signatory with the Painters, so
ECA takes care of the negotiations for us
which is a great benefit to us.”

BUILDING INDUSTRY CENTER The Building Industry Center at 6 Airline Drive in Albany, NY opened its doors in the early
1970s providing our members a central location to meet and to use our physical
Planroom. Fast forward 50 years when we renovated the entire building, transforming it
into a 21st Century office, training and meeting space with new technology and modern
features.
We hope you’ll soon be able to stop by and see all of the updates in person!
