Barton & Loguidice acquires Hudson Valley firm

SALINA, N.Y. — Barton & Loguidice, D.P.C. (B&L), a Salina–based engineering firm, announced it has acquired Eberlin & Eberlin, P.C., a planning and landscape-architecture company located in Brewster in Putnam County.

B&L describes the purchase as a “move to increase its growing presence in the Hudson Valley and expand its client services.”

B&L didn’t release any financial terms of its acquisition agreement. The deal closed on March 30, the engineering firm tells BJNN.

The acquired firm, a 70-year-old company, represents B&L’s ninth office in New York state and fourth in the Hudson Valley, along with locations in Newburgh in Orange County, and New Paltz and Ellenville in Ulster County.

B&L will operate from existing Putnam County office in Brewster, but plans to relocate to a new, larger office space in Somers, New York, in Westchester County, this summer.

“Bringing Eberlin & Eberlin into our fold provides our clients with greater offerings through the firm’s deep expertise in designing athletic fields, enhancing our reach within the K-to-12 and higher-education markets, while deepening our footprint in the lower Hudson Valley and Westchester County,” Richard Straut, a principal of Barton & Loguidice, said in a news release.

In the acquisition deal, Eberlin & Eberlin’s two employees have joined B&L’s sustainable planning and design group. They include Ronald Tetelman, who had served as president of Eberlin & Eberlin, and Leigh Jones, who had worked as a landscape architect and project manager at the acquired firm.

“We are excited about what this means for our clients on both sides and for our ability to grow well into the future in Westchester County,” Tetelman said in the B&L release. “By bringing together our assets to work for municipalities, public agencies, private industry and other design professionals, our clients will get the best of our mutual expertise.”

With the two new employees added in the acquisition, the total employee count at Barton & Loguidice is currently 246, but will likely increase to nearly 270 by June, as it will “ramp up for the busy summer months,” the company says.

Barton & Loguidice., an engineering, planning, environmental, and landscape architecture firm, operates New York offices in Salina, Binghamton, Albany, Rochester, Watertown, Ellenville, New Paltz, Newburgh, and Brewster. Outside the Empire State, it has offices in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania and Lanham, Maryland.
