The Hill Cumorah Visitor Center in Palmyra, New York—set at a site of historical significance to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—was thoughtfully remodeled to improve the guest experience.
Parkway served as the general contractor on this project, managing selective demolition and a full interior upgrade. The scope of work included new finishes throughout, improvements to accessibility and wayfinding, and upgrades to the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to improve building performance.
The project was completed 1.5 months ahead of schedule, a reflection of Parkway’s proactive planning, coordination with AECOM’s design team, and ability to execute on tight timelines without compromising quality. The updated visitor center now provides a more welcoming, functional space for guests exploring the history of the Hill Cumorah.
