LeChase teams tour zoo expansion project

The Finance and Risk Management departments recently took a tour of the expansion project currently underway at the Seneca Park Zoo. Senior Project Manager Tom Sullivan hosted the group, giving them a look at the four-acre A Step into Africa addition that will include both outdoor habitats as well as “day room” space for giraffes, zebras and other animals native to the Savanna.
