Why it matters

Projects go public months before they're bid.

Before a shovel moves, a project goes in front of a planning board, often several times. The engineer, the applicant, the size and the site are all in the public record. But it's spread across dozens of town websites as PDFs, agendas and minutes posted at odd hours. By the time a project shows up on a bid board, the relationships are already made.

01

Concept & sketch plan

First appearance before the planning board. Often no engineer named yet.

We catch it here

Where others start
How it works

We do the reading. You make the calls.

A pipeline built for one job: turning scattered municipal paperwork into a short, clean list of real opportunities.

01

We read every board, every night

Our system checks each municipality's agendas, minutes and legal notices, plus county planning referrals and industrial development agency filings, and reads every new document start to finish.

  • Planning boards
  • Zoning boards
  • County referrals
  • IDAs
02

We pull out the projects that matter

Each project gets a clean record: what it is, where, how big, who's applying, who's designing it, and how far along it is. Every lead quotes the source word for word and links to the original document.

  • Size & scope
  • Applicant
  • Engineer
  • Stage
03

You get it, filtered to your business

A Monday digest for your counties, project types and minimum size. Instant alerts when a major project appears or wins approval. When a project you're watching moves forward, you'll know.

  • Monday digest
  • Instant alerts
  • Project history

  1. The stage, not just the project

    Concept, under review, approved. Know how warm a project is, and get an alert when it moves.

  2. Who's on it, and who isn't

    The applicant and the engineer of record when they're named. "Not named yet" is often the best lead of all.

  3. The record, word for word

    Every lead quotes the source document and links to it, so you can verify it in one click before you pick up the phone.

  4. A suggested next step

    A short, practical note on who to call and what to offer, written for engineers, site contractors, developers and suppliers.

Projects are summarized with the help of AI from public records. Always confirm details with the municipality before you bid.

Who it's for

Built for the firms that build the region.

Civil engineers & surveyors

Find projects before an engineer of record is chosen, and see which firms are winning which work.

Best signal: "engineer not named yet"

Site-work & paving contractors

Get in front of owners and engineers while budgets are still being built, not after the bid list is set.

Best signal: approvals & site plan size

Developers & owners

Watch what's being proposed nearby, who your competitors are working with, and where approvals are moving.

Best signal: multifamily & PUD filings

Materials suppliers

Know the pipeline in your delivery area: aggregate, concrete, precast, pipe and building packages, months out.

Best signal: project size by county
Coverage

From Albany to Lake George, along the Northway and beyond. This list updates itself as the public record does.

Questions

Straight answers.

Something else? Write to leads@northwayleads.com.

Where does the information come from?

Only from public records: municipal planning and zoning board agendas, minutes and legal notices, county planning board referrals (under NY General Municipal Law §239), and industrial development agency agendas. Every lead links to the document it came from.

How is this different from a bid board?

Bid boards list projects once they're out to bid, when every competitor sees them at the same moment. We track projects from their first appearance before a planning board, often months earlier, while owners are still choosing engineers and contractors.

How current is it?

Every source is checked every night. New projects go out in the Monday digest, and major projects or approvals can go out as an instant alert the same day they appear.

How accurate is it?

We read the records with AI and keep the original wording, so you can check every lead against the source in one click. Summaries and stage estimates can be incomplete, and municipal records themselves change. Always confirm with the municipality or applicant before you bid or make a decision.

Do you include contact information?

We include the applicant and the engineer of record when the record names them. Where we can confirm it on a firm's own website, we add its public business phone or general inbox. We never publish private individuals' details. When an applicant is a private person, we don't name them.

Can I choose which projects I get?

Yes. Choose your counties, project types (commercial, multifamily, subdivisions, solar and industrial) and a minimum project size, so a firm that only wants 20,000 SF and up never sees a garage addition.

What happens after the free pilot?

It simply ends. Nothing is charged, and you don't need to cancel anything. If you'd like to continue, you choose a plan and pay through our secure payment processor.

How do I cancel a paid plan?

Email leads@northwayleads.com or reply to any digest. No phone call, no retention runaround. Your service runs to the end of the month you paid for, and you won't be charged again.

Is it legal to use this information?

Yes. These are public records that New York municipalities publish so the public can take part. Your subscription is for your own firm's business development; please contact the businesses you find in a lawful, professional way.
