Rochester & Associates, Inc., recently hosted the Fayette County Chamber After Hours. The 37-year-old company recently opened its fourth office in Fayetteville. It provides land surveying, civil engineering, landscaping, and construction management to projects both new and revitalized.

In charge of the Fayetteville office is Jim Hickey, senior vice president. He is a former career United States Army of Corps Engineers engineer.

"We feel that our new Fayetteville office is the perfect location to serve our clients in the area between I-20 and I-75," he said. "Our office will be able to respond more rapidly and efficiently to projects with full service civil design and surveying services."

President and founder of the firm is Keith Rochester, who was born and reared in East Point. The corporate office is in Gainesville, with offices in Blairsville and Atlanta.

The company has 170 employees as well as a location in Adonna, Turkey, with eight employees.

"We are a Christian-based company," said executive vice president Brian K. Rochester. "We maintain a Christian work environment and relationship with our clients and employees. Our efforts are guided by our core values."

These include but not limited to: believing in the golden rule in all its dealings; respectful of others; making a commitment with care; and requiring honesty, integrity and trustworthiness in all they do.

The Fayetteville office can be reached at 770-716-8124.

Chamber chair-elect Vicki Turner introduced the company officials at the recent After Hours event.
