// For Small Towns & Rural Communities
Most small towns don't have a grant writer on staff. Most grant writers don't own a drone. We do both.
High-resolution photography and video for infrastructure assessment and grant applications — the kind of visual documentation that makes reviewers take notice.
Full-service grant narrative development for state infrastructure programs. We find the funding, write the application, and document the site.
BIMS data analysis, Chapter 90 expenditure review, and municipal documentation support to strengthen your application and track compliance.
Serving small rural towns, highway departments, and conservation commissions across Berkshire and Hampden counties, western Massachusetts.
Most small towns leave state infrastructure funding on the table — not because they don't qualify, but because they lack the staff to find it, apply for it, and document it properly. AetherLabs handles all three. Your application comes with professional aerial documentation that shows reviewers exactly what the problem is and why your town needs the funding.
// Who We Serve
Private clients and public entities across western Massachusetts.
Realtors, property owners, and developers needing aerial listings that stand out.
Attorneys and adjusters requiring documented aerial evidence and timestamped records.
Small towns, select boards, and highway departments seeking infrastructure grants.

AetherLabs is based in Sandisfield, Massachusetts — founded by FAA-licensed drone pilot and investigative researcher Alexander Russo. We bring documentation discipline and technical precision to every project we take on.
With a background in professional investigative research, public records, and commercial drone operations with FlyGuys, we don't just capture footage — we deliver complete, professional records our clients can act on.
// Who We Are
We're not a hobby operation. Every flight is planned, legal, insured, and executed to professional standards.
Whether you're a realtor who needs listing photos that sell, a town manager trying to find road repair funding, or an attorney building an aerial record — you get a licensed operator, professional equipment, and deliverables that hold up.
