YORKVILLE — AX Enterprize, LLC — a Yorkville company specializing in hardware, software and systems engineering, and light electro-mechanical manufacturing — was recently honored with a 2018 Small Business Excellence Award.
The business was recognized during National Small Business Week at the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 20th Annual Small Business Excellence Awards luncheon in Syracuse on May 2. Small businesses are selected for the Excellence Awards based on their company’s longevity, innovation, sales growth, increased employment, ability to overcome adversity, or community contributions, according to an SBA news release.
From starting as a two-person operation in 2011, AX Enterprize has grown to include several divisions with 26 employees.
AX Enterprize owners Mary Carol Chruscicki and Patricia Baskinger are recognized as “national leaders in cyber and information technology research,” the SBA said in its release. The company conducts research and development of advanced communications, signal processing, networking and information technology, along with cybersecurity research and development for the U.S. Armed Forces and commercial clients. As the lead developer and maintainer of the New York unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) test site in Rome, AX Enterprize works closely with Griffiss International Airport and the NUAIR Alliance to support NASA.
“We are pleased the SBA has recognized AX Enterprize for their extraordinary efforts in business, as well as contributions to the community,” Mohawk Valley SBDC Director Roxanne Mutchler said in the release. “Their hard work and dedication helped them achieve success and accomplish their goals, while at the same time making a positive impact in our region.”

CORTLAND — Sutton Real Estate Co. announced that Louis Fournier, company president, was appointed by the state Supreme Court in Cortland County earlier this year to be the receiver for the Ramada Inn and Red Roof Inn in Cortland. The two hotels have a total of 150 rooms.
The property containing the hotels had fallen into disrepair in recent years, according to Syracuse–based Sutton Real Estate, and 40 of the 150 rooms in the Ramada Inn were closed due to water damage from a leaking roof. The occupancy and the overall condition of both properties was negatively impacted as a result.
Sutton says it has started renovating the 40 rooms that were out of commission and began reintroducing the property to the Cortland market under the new management of Gulph Creek Hotels, which has been hired to manage the hotel during the receivership.
