Hillis-Carnes joined Sterling Logistics Properties, ARCO Design/Build, and our project partners to celebrate the redevelopment of a former movie theater site into a Class A logistics facility in Columbia, Maryland. Our team has supported the project through environmental consulting, geotechnical engineering, and construction materials testing and inspection services. We also helped guide the property through the Maryland Department of the Environment’s Voluntary Cleanup Program, resulting in regulatory closure and eligibility for significant Brownfields Tax Credits. We are proud to be a part of a project that is transforming a prominent commercial property into a valuable new asset for the Howard County community.

We're proud to announce that Hillis-Carnes has been recognized as a 2025 CareFirst Healthy Business Bronze Recipient.

Hillis-Carnes is one of just 84 inaugural organizations across Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia selected for this recognition, which honors employers that are embedding well-being into the fabric of their workplaces and helping advance healthier communities throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

Honorees were evaluated based on how they support employee health, encourage engagement with wellness resources, and integrate well-being into their everyday workplace culture, reflecting a sustained commitment to employee wellness rather than one-time initiatives.

We are honored to be recognized by CareFirst and remain committed to fostering a workplace where our employees can thrive both personally and professionally.

Thank you to CareFirst for this recognition and for celebrating organizations that prioritize the health and well-being of their teams and communities.
