INTRODUCING THE ALEXANDER VOCATIONAL SERVICES BUILDING

Introducing the Alexander Vocational Services Building
The Arc Jefferson – St. Lawrence is pleased to honor Pat and Dick Alexander with the naming of our Vocational Services Building located at 968 Bradley Street. The Alexanders donated the facility to the agency, giving a cost savings of over $1 million. The building is home to our manufacturing, packaging and printing entity, Production Unlimited, which provides work opportunities to adults with disabilities, and our Community Pre-vocational program. The building also houses the agency’s UPS Store and serves as the primary Foundation office. Mr. Alexander has served on the Foundation Board for several years and has generously supported multiple efforts over the decades which benefit the people with disabilities of the North Country. We are grateful to both Pat and Dick for their continued contributions and support of our mission.
