It's a small company that's making a big impact. And on Tuesday, Rep. Tom Reed toured Advanced Design Consulting in Lansing. Tamara Lindstrom reports about the facility's upcoming expansion.

LANSING, N.Y. -- Advanced Design and Consulting may have began in a garage in the mid-1990s, but IT has grown to do some pretty big work.

"We design and build scientific instruments for physicists who are trying to figure out why we are here, who the universe was created," said ADC president Alex Deyhim. "They do fundamental research."

On Tuesday, employees showed off their work to Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning.

"Advanced manufacturing, like you see on display here, is one of the key opportunities for America's future," Reed said. "I'm very excited about the prospects we're hearing in U.S. manufacturing. And when you see it being done right here in Lansing, we can do it across America."

And for ADC, the prospects are about to get better. The company announced another 20,000 square-foot facility expansion.

Deyhim said the new manufacturing, engineering and administrative facility will allow the company to take on larger projects.

"Right now, for example, we have a project for NASA, which we just finished all the design, it's all done, we just released it to manufacturing," Deyhim said. "We're trying to figure out how to assemble and do the testing. Because this whole system is so big, it's going to be a struggle. We're confident we can do it, but space is an issue for us."

The company plans to add at least a dozen new jobs to their roster of 21 employees, and they're grateful to get a little attention from lawmakers.
