McFarland Johnson, Inc. (MJ) is a 100% employee-owned planning, engineering, technology, environmental, and construction administration firm. Founded in Binghamton, New York in 1946, the firm has grown from its New York roots into a national infrastructure consultancy while maintaining a strong commitment to client service, community betterment, and employee ownership. MJ has supported major infrastructure projects in the region, including work with NYSDOT, the NYS Thruway Authority, Syracuse Hancock International Airport, state agencies and municipal clients.
In Spring 2026, McFarland Johnson celebrated the opening of its brand-new Syracuse office. The location expands MJ’s local presence in Central New York and positions the firm to better serve public and private clients across the region. Led by Dave Smith and Jason Kantak, the Syracuse office serves as a hub for multidisciplinary services, with a focus on highways, bridges, multimodal infrastructure, civil and site development, facilities, aviation, planning, environmental, and construction phase services.
“Central New York is entering a defining period of investment and transformation, and McFarland Johnson is proud to be part of that momentum,” said Chad Nixon, president and chairman of McFarland Johnson. “Our roots in New York go back 80 years, and our commitment to this region has only grown stronger.”
The Syracuse expansion reinforces the company’s people-focused approach to growth. By investing in local leadership, regional partnerships, and expanded technical capabilities, MJ is strengthening its ability to support communities throughout Central New York during a period of rapid change.
