Congratulations to the Village of Penn Yan on being recognized with the American Public Works Association New York Chapter – Genesee Valley Branch Project of the Year Award in the Structures: Small Cities/Rural Communities category for the Lake Street Park Improvements Project.

This award recognizes the Village’s leadership and vision for revitalizing its waterfront. The project transforms this centrally located green space into a more welcoming, accessible waterfront destination with a new playground, dock, landing area, and ADA-accessible walking path.

Fisher was proud to support the Village by developing a cohesive design that reflects local materials and ecological themes and strengthens connections between the waterfront, trails, and village core.

Congratulations to the Village of Penn Yan and all project partners on this well-deserved recognition!

During Women’s History Month, we celebrate a legacy that continues to shape who we are.

Fisher Associates was founded in 1984 by Claire Fisher, PE. What began as a certified Women Owned Business Enterprise grew into a thriving, nationally recognized consulting firm built on expertise, resilience, and leadership.

Today, under the leadership of our CEO, Roseann (Bills) Schmid, P.E., that foundation continues to guide how we grow our people, serve our clients, and lead with purpose.

In this video, members of our team reflect on what it means to build careers within a women-founded, women-led firm.

We are proud of our history and the future we continue to build.

As winter snow settles across campus and students begin the spring semester, we’re reflecting on sunnier days at SUNY Brockport in Brockport, New York.

As part of campus infrastructure improvement projects, Fisher Associates served as the landscape architect, designing outdoor spaces that responded to and complemented necessary infrastructure upgrades. Our work focused on improving accessibility, strengthening pedestrian connections, and enhancing everyday student and campus life. Our long-standing partnership with SUNY Brockport gives us a strong understanding of the campus environment and its long-term priorities.

This work is part of Fisher’s higher education practice and decades of experience designing landscapes that bring people together and create a stronger sense of place. We’re proud to continue supporting SUNY Brockport and contributing to a campus experience built for today and planned for the future.
