Elmwood Park, NJ (August 31, 2011) – Langan Engineering & Environmental Services and its employees quickly responded to the recent natural disasters impacting citizens around the country by donating $25,000 to the American Red Cross.

“Citizenship is a core value at Langan, and the selfless actions of our employees during an economic recession, show that we all take citizenship to heart by generously giving to people in need across the country,” said David T. Gockel, President/CEO, Langan Engineering & Environmental Services. “Hurricane Irene and the other recent natural disasters directly affected many of the communities where Langan employees live and work, and we all hope that this contribution will help our neighbors begin the rebuilding process.”
