The success story of the Welch Corp is thestory of post-war America. It is the story of theAmerican dream: A hard-working familybuilding itself up, while for 80 years, buildingup the Boston area.It is the legacy of fathers handing wisdom,

experience and a career to sons, four timesover.Most people don’t know it, but when they

see the high-rises and other notable structures,which dot the Boston skyline, they are oftenlooking at a work by Welch.“I’m proud to tell the story of my family’s

long and honored tradition,” said Rich Welch,company foreman and the fourth generationof Welch’s still on site and in the field.

Welch Corp: An Eight Decade-LongSuccess Story of Post-War America

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) The Vermont Supreme Courtruled July 25 for the Burlington International Airport andits plan to demolish 54 nearby homes so it doesn’t fall outof compliance with federal noise mitigation rules.A 3-2 majority of the justices found tearing down the

houses and filling in their cellar holes doesn’t constitute achange in use under zoning regulations.A neighbor, George Maille, had appealed 54 zoning per-

mits issued by the city of South Burlington to the airportand its owner, the city of Burlington. One of Maille’slawyers, Damien Leonard, said they had argued that thepermits needed more extensive review than they hadreceived.The 54 homes were among more than 120 the airport has

purchased since the early 1990s in its effort to eliminatecases in which noise from the facility would be found inviolation of the federal rules, the court said.When Maille appealed the permits, the environmental

division of the Superior Court agreed with him that thedemolitions did constitute a change in use, but said thechanges were allowed without review under an exemptionin city zoning rules for single- and two-family homes.The Supreme Court’s majority opinion was stronger for

the airport, saying the residential exemption applied andthat the demolitions did not constitute a change in use.“We recognize that this conclusion places these proper-

ties in a sort of land-use limbo,” said the majority opinion,written by Justice Marilyn Skoglund. “Nonetheless, wecannot change the fact that these [currently vacant] struc-tures lack any practical utility at present and that the under-lying lots are used only as empty space. Because we holdthat [the airport’s] application proposed no change in useand thus has not proposed conversion to a non-residentialuse or airport use, site plan review is not required.”A dissent written by Associate Justice Beth Robinson

and joined by retired Justice James Morse, who was spe-cially assigned to the case, argued against the idea thatdemolishing homes was not a change in use.Robinson wrote the notion that “this potentially signifi-

cant conversion of a substantial number of lots in a resi-dential district from residential to vacant does not triggerany sort of review” could have unfortunate effects on futureland-use planning in Vermont.

End of WWII, Start of WelchAlbert “Doc” Welch, Sr. and sons Albert “Albie”

Welch, Jr. and John Welch founded this New Englandexcavation and site work firm in 1945.Decades of work and dedication to the Albert J.

Welch Corp. and its affiliates helped ensure lasting suc-cess through the years, now approaching a ninthdecade.The founder, Albert Sr., was born in Brighton,

Mass., 120 years ago. A veteran of World War I, he served as a First

Lieutenant of the U. S. Army in the European Theater.Honorably discharged in 1919, he married EleanorMurphy in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1924 and had four children.For the next 20 years, he worked as a veterinarian through-out the Boston area. Shortly after World War II, Welch traded bulls for bull-

dozers, cats for Caterpillars.He started an excavation/site work business with his two

sons, Albert Jr. and John. Working from just a small officeover a drug store in Brighton Center, Welch and sons startedwork on small construction projects. Throughout the 1950s the business steadily grew. With the

help of Doc’s close friend, the renowned Cardinal RichardCushing, Archbishop of Boston, the Albert J. Welch Corpstarted to take on larger commercial projects such as church-es, hospitals and public buildings.With each project success, the reputation of the company

grew. Many clients came to rely on the Albert J. Welch Corpfor quality excavation and site work. Welch actively partici-

pated in the company all of his life but as the 1960sapproached, sons Albie and John assumed day-to-day man-agement. Welch passed away in 1974 but left behind a fam-ily construction tradition that endures to 2014.Second son John E. Welch, Sr. was born in 1928 in

Brighton. He and wife Effie Bohannan were married for 58years and together had seven children.An accomplished heavy equipment operator, he estimat-

ed, supervised and ran equipment on many projects. In the1950s and 60s, John Sr. was responsible for all aspects of theoutside field operations and equipment acquisitions of thecompany. He became the president of the Albert J. WelchCorp when his Dad stepped away.In the mid-1960s, the company was awarded the site work

and excavation contract at what is known today as thePlymouth Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth, Mass. At thetime, this was one of the largest site work projects on the east

coast of the United States.John’s experience and leadership was critical to the

success of this large project. His two sons, John Jr. andThomas currently work in the family business. JohnSr. passed away in 2008, leaving behind many cher-ished memories to his business associates, childrenand grandchildren.John’s partner and brother, Albert J. Welch, Jr. born

in 1926 in Brighton, like his Dad, served America inwartime. With the outbreak of World War II, he enlist-ed in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving in the PacificTheater, seeing action on Iwo Jima. He was honorablydischarged as a corporal in 1946. That same year, hemarried Irene Urbaczewski and together they had sixchildren.

Albie went to work in the construction business with hisfather and brother at discharge. In the 1950s, Albie and Johnworked closely with their father to expand the servicesoffered by the Albert J. Welch Corp.Albie became vice president and treasurer in the 1960s.

His work force increased substantially and the companymoved to its present location on Electric Avenue in Brighton.Albie oversaw the day-to-day operations of the office per-

sonnel. He worked closely with estimators, accountants,bankers and general contractors and was instrumental in thebanking, bonding, insurance and financial aspects of thefirm. His three sons, Jim, David and Albert III, currently work

in the family business. Albie died in 1998, leaving behind agrateful extended circle of family and friends.

Site Development, ExcavationThe Welch Corp. has performed numerous site develop-

ment projects throughout New England, such as BrownUniversity, Women and Infants Hospital and the RhodeIsland School of Design, along with projects in upstate NewYork, including R.P.I. in Troy, N.Y., and the SheridanHollow parking garage in Albany, N.Y., both for GC Turnerof New York.“We have worked on sites well over 100 acres in size. In

our site development operation, we perform tree clearing,site preparation, site grading, building excavation, site utili-ties and paving,” said Welch. “To ensure the greatest of accu-racy, we employ the latest in GPS satellite technology on allof our pieces of heavy equipment.”The Welch Corp is a leader in deep hole urban excavation

projects, according to the company.“For over 60 years, we have been involved with the exca-

vation of many of the signature buildings that make up theBoston skyline. We own and operate a large fleet of deepreach excavators,” said Welch. “We routinely perform massexcavation in excess of 60 ft. deep with production of over5,000 cu. yds. per day.“Recently, we completed the removal of over one-half

million yards of material for a project located on the campusof Harvard University in Allston Massachusetts,” Welchsaid.The Welch Corp performs all types of utility installation

including water, sewer, drainage, electric, gas and fiber optic. “Deep installation of utilities is one of our specialties. We

employ a well-maintained fleet of mini and mid-size exca-vators, loader backhoes, trench boxes and slide rail systemsto install the utilities,” said Welch. “We take great care toensure any utility we install is done properly and safely.”Welch Corp constructs many parking lots and roadways.

They offer services that include milling and overlay, curbinstallation, new binder and top installation and seal-coating.

By Pat Eaton-RobbASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) NewBritain’s minor league baseballannounced plans June 4 to move about15 mi. north to Hartford, where thecapital city plans to build it a $60 mil-lion stadium.Josh Solomon, the managing part-

ner of the Double-A Rock Cats andHartford Mayor Pedro Segarra held anews conference on the steps ofHartford City Hall to provide detailsof the agreement, which calls for analmost 10,000-seat stadium to beready in time for opening day in 2016.The stadium is planned for Main

Street, just north of Hartford’s down-town, near the intersection ofInterstates 91 and 84. The team hasagreed to sign a 25-year lease, officialssaid.“The ability to provide our fans

with a state-of-the art facility at thejunction of two major highways indowntown Hartford was somethingwe couldn't pass up,” Solomon said.Segarra said the city has been work-

ing on the deal for about 18 months,but it seemed to come as a surprise to

New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart.Stewart told reporters June 3 that

she had been assured the team did notplan to move. She tweeted June 6 thatshe would lead a fight to keep theMinnesota Twins affiliate in her city,which has had a minor league teamsince 1983. She did not immediatelyreturn calls and e-mails seeking com-ment.The Rock Cats drew more than

307,000 fans to their 6,100-seat stadi-um in New Britain last year, rankingsixth in the 12-team Eastern League.The team’s lease at New Britain sta-

dium runs out in 2015, and Solomonsaid owners had been looking for anew home both within and outside ofConnecticut. He declined to commenton reports the team also had beennegotiating with officials inSpringfield, Mass.“This team transfer is intended to

prevent the Rock Cats from leavingthe state of Connecticut,” Segarra said.Segarra said the stadium has the

support of city council and will bebuilt primarily with city bondingmoney. He said the city owns most ofthe land involved and has agreed tobuy an additional parcel for $1.7 mil-

lion. He said construction wouldinvolve shifting a section of TrumbullStreet.The city does not plan to add any

additional parking and has been study-ing how to schedule games to avoidcreating major traffic problems, hesaid.Segarra estimated the new stadium

would create 600 full-time jobs and900 construction jobs, while generat-ing about $2 million in annual revenuefor Hartford.He said his office has created a

checklist of approvals it will needbefore construction can begin and isconfident it can meet the team’stimetable.Solomon would not say what the

team would do if the stadium is notready by April 2016.“We’re going to get it done on

time,” he said.Segarra said he anticipates other

tenants using the facility, and said hehopes to get the state’s “collegiatecommunity” involved.

“Our machines are fully equipped withsatellite GPS technology that allows us toconstruct parking lots and roadways to theexact specification required. Roads andparking lots are quickly paved, line stripedso that owners can access them as soon aspossible,” said Welch.The Welch Corp employs a staff of full-

time estimators and engineers using the lat-est in Topcon, Agtek, Bid2Win andBuild2Win engineering technology.The Welch Corp and its subsidiary, Welch

Environmental Corp, offer a full range ofenvironmental services. “We are a licensed asbestos abatement

contractor. We have experience in ground-water treatment, soil treatment and disposal,UST removal, landfill closures and haz-ardous waste management. We offer clientsa one-stop approach to their environmentalremediation needs,” said Welch.The Welch Corp also provides reliable

sanding and snow removal services to insti-tutional and commercial clients throughouteastern Massachusetts, with numerous front-end loaders, skid steer loaders, dump trucksand plows trucks to efficiently plow snowand ice. Staff and equipment are on call 24hours a day, seven days a week.

“Many of our snow removal clients havebeen customers for over three decades,” saidWelch. “This winter was a great wintersnow-wise, very lucrative, and kept theemployees with company vehicles busyplowing while bringing income into thecompany.”

Family and More FamilyIncorporated in the 1960s, the firm is into

its fourth generation of Welch family mem-bers with vital roles in the company.�“The current owners are David J. Welch

Sr., my father, and Albert J. Welch III, myuncle. My uncle Albert has a son Michael inthe business who is a laborer and truck driv-er,” said Welch. “My cousin Andrew Nolanis the company controller. My uncle, JamesP. Welch, is the safety director.”John E. Welch Jr. just retired after 44 years

of service with the company. His son, ColinNorton, is currently an equipment operator.�Paul McManus is general superintendent,and has been with company for more than 30years. Mark Wilder, shop superintendent,also has been with the company more than30 years, as has Tom Rattigan, senior esti-mator.Welch’s cousin, Michael Urbaczewski, is

an equipment operator who has been with

the company for nearly 40 years.“Our employees are also family to us,”

said Welch. “Every one of them is our fami-ly, too.“The family business has stayed the same

size over the past 30 years, but the companyhas always evolved with new technologyand equipment,” said Welch. Employees vary from 75 to 100, Welch

said, depending on season and current proj-ects, which can range in scope from around$200,000 to $5 million.

Major Projects Over the YearsWelch Corp has done some of the most

familiar projects in the Boston area: Sitework for Cambridgeside Galleria shoppingcenter, Pilgrim One Power Plant, TheMuseum of Fine Arts, AstraZeneca inWaltham and the massive HarvardUniversity Science Center.“The best project I have been a part of was

removing 475,000 cu. yds. of materials inseven months from the Harvard Allston FirstScience Center in 2008,” said Welch.�“Another challenge was at Harvard’s rival,M.I.T. [the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology], across the river in Cambridge.�“At M.I.T. NW21, we had to work in thebasement of an active college and building,

with very sensitive equipment being usedabove us,” said Welch. “We had to remove5000 yds. of unsuitable material withoutimpacting others daily work environment.”Current projects include 275 Wyman St.

for GC Commodore, Harvard ScienceCenter for GC Turner, Oracle for GC DimeoConstruction, Fitchburg State College forGCs Bond and Consigli and WentworthInstitute of Technology for GC Bond.According to Welch, reputation precedesanyone in everything they do. Customersand people in the industry know who is onthe up and up. “Always do the job with integrity and

honesty. You may think the constructioncommunity is big, but it really is not,” Welchsaid. “You run into people all the time, soyour reputation follows you everywhere.Never lie or cut corners to get a job done.�Our reputation is second to none in theindustry. Our company is still operated withthe same values it was founded,” said Welch.“It is an honor to share our history.”��For more information, visit

Conn. Lobbies for UpgradedFreight Rail Line SystemBy Stephen SingerAP BUSINESS WRITER

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) From the portof New London on Long Island Soundnorth through Connecticut, Massachusetts,Vermont and into Canada, a 390-mi. (627.6km) freight rail system linking NewEngland to the rest of the Northeast lacks akey element: a 21st-century rail line inConnecticut.Elected officials in Connecticut, backed

by regional business owners and Genesee &Wyoming Inc., owner of New EnglandCentral Railroad, are lobbying federal trans-portation officials for $8.3 million toupgrade railroad tracks to accommodateheavier freight and move more products tomarket. New England Central is contributing$2 million.Officials said it would be the first north-

south heavy rail capacity corridor inConnecticut and could lead to expanded pas-senger rail service in eastern Connecticut.“You can see point-blank the rail line is

rusty, bolted together, not that stable in termsof bearing weight,” said Rep. Joe Courtney,D-Conn., one of several elected officials lob-bying for the federal money.The New England Central Railroad

moves commodities such as lumber, panels,plywood, newsprint, printing paper, com-pressed gas, chemicals, fuel oil and con-struction debris. The Great Recession hitNew England hard, but business is returning,said Charles Hunter, assistant vice presidentof government affairs at Genesee &Wyoming. Rail also looks attractive in com-parison with truck transport, which relies onrising gasoline prices, he said.“The interest seems to be gathering,” he

said.State officials said the rails on the

Connecticut portion of the New EnglandCentral Rail corridor do not support the railfreight carload standard of 286,000 lbs.(129,727 kg), falling short by about 23,000lbs. (10,433 kg).Andrew Clark, owner of Limb-It Less, a

North Franklin logging company, said

increasing capacity of rail cars will help himship more logs and lower his cost of doingbusiness. He moved his business from Essexto North Franklin for its access to rail trans-portation, he said.“If we upgrade, we’re going to be able to

attract more business,” he said.State officials are pushing the economic

development potential of replacing 19 mi.(30.6 km) of track in eastern Connecticutcommunities described as “economicallydistressed.” Improving the freight rail linewould particularly help redevelop vacantindustrial sites, some of which were pollutedby previous manufacturing uses, state offi-cials said.Increased freight rail also could bring

more business to the New London port,Connecticut’s easternmost outlet to LongIsland Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.Massachusetts also is upgrading a rail line

from the Vermont line to Springfield in aproject initially costing $73 million that’sintended to accommodate higher speed pas-senger trains and higher capacity freightservice.The town of Palmer, Mass., is backing the

rail upgrade in eastern Connecticut as part ofa drive for a regional north-south freight railline, Town Manager Charlie Blanchard said.Calling itself “The Town with SevenRailroads” because of its railroad heritage,Palmer is home to businesses that distributeproducts delivered by rail and would benefitfrom an upgraded freight line, he said.And Vermont’s segment of the line has

been upgraded using nearly $80 million ingrants and other sources, said DanDelabruere, rail program director at theVermont Agency of Transportation. The railline extends from Massachusetts to St.Albans and a $9.8 million grant will replacea freight rail line before the winter from St.Albans nearly to Canada, he said.“We’re virtually all new line, border to

border,” Delabruere said. (This story also can be found on
