Behan Communications

No environmental issue in the Capital Region of New York State has captured so much media attention in a generation. When the unprecedented Hudson River dredging project began in May after three decades of debate, journalists arrived by the boatload: Reporters and photographers; camera crews from near and far; bloggers and columnists; radio stingers and talk show hosts, and freelancers by the score produced more than 500 stories. Behan Communications represented GE to the news media and produced GE’s news media materials.

In 2009, after 30 years of public and scientific debate, GE began the first phase of the Hudson River dredging project, the largest and most logistically complex environmental cleanup project ever undertaken in the United States. With dredges excavating river sediment 24 hours a day, GE launched a door-to-door canvassing of the hundred of homeowners whose summers days along the Upper Hudson would be affected by dredging and the 500 employees hired to perform the work. A GE web site provided the public with daily progress reports, construction schedules and environmental data. Behan Communications developed and conducted the entire campaign, designed and produced the web site and all of the communications materials.
