Kennedy Hardwood

Lumber and manufacturing come together at Kennedy Hardwood in Preble, a town in Cortland County. The name points to hardwood, the dense lumber that goes into furniture, flooring, cabinets and trim, and the business sits at the supply end of that chain. Wood is a natural fit for this corner of the state, where forests cover many hillsides.

Central New York’s hills and forests have long supported the lumber trade, and Cortland County has its share of woodlots and mills. A local source for lumber and building supplies is useful to builders, woodworkers and homeowners planning a project.
