Congratulations to Lancaster County Parks and Recreation on breaking ground on the new 84-acre Lancaster County Regional Park, one of the largest parks and recreation investments in the county's history.

Woolpert is proud to support this transformative project through planning, design, and civil engineering services, helping turn the county's long-term vision into a vibrant community destination.

When complete, the park will feature a collegiate-sized baseball stadium, a splash pad and family recreation area, athletic fields, walking trails, and other amenities that will serve residents and visitors for generations to come.

"Regional parks become the front porch of a community," said Woolpert Program Director Andrew Pack. "Lancaster County is making a lasting investment in its future by creating a destination that supports recreation, health, economic development, and an exceptional quality of life."

Kevin Gallagher has joined Woolpert as a senior geospatial advisor. A former USGS associate director for Core Science Systems, Gallagher brings nearly 40 years of federal service and executive leadership experience spanning geospatial strategy, science informatics, technology modernization, and national mapping efforts.

“As governments and organizations around the world increasingly rely on trusted geospatial intelligence to support resilience, infrastructure, security, and resource management, Kevin brings a unique perspective that will help strengthen our international relationships, sharpen our strategic positioning, and elevate how we engage at the executive level globally," said Woolpert Executive Vice President and Global Head of Technology and Innovation Amar Nayegandhi.

As senior geospatial advisor, Gallagher will provide strategic counsel supporting the firm’s long-term growth across federal and international geospatial markets.

“Kevin has long been one of the most respected and influential leaders in the U.S. and international geospatial communities,” said Woolpert Government Solutions Market Director Jeff Lovin. “His leadership at the USGS helped shape national geospatial priorities, modernize science and technology operations, and strengthen collaboration across agencies and industry. His insight, relationships, and understanding of the federal landscape will be invaluable as Woolpert continues expanding its role as a trusted partner supporting mission-critical geospatial programs across the United States and abroad.”

Woolpert is conducting its first fully uncrewed offshore hydrographic survey mission for the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, deploying multiple uncrewed survey vessels designed and piloted by Chance Maritime Technologies, and equipped with Woolpert’s multibeam sonar to map deep-sea corals and ocean habitats off the coast of Pensacola, Florida.

“Uncrewed vessels allow us to collect high-quality hydrographic data more efficiently and safely, particularly in challenging deep-ocean environments,” Woolpert Program Director David Neff said. “This project demonstrates just how valuable USVs are in expanding our access to critical ocean data while reducing operational risk. We’re proud to support NOAA’s mission and to help set a new precedent for large-scale offshore marine mapping.”

Amsterdam, you were too good to us! That’s a wrap on this year’s Geospatial World Forum.

We were especially proud to hear from our very own Neil Churman, Amar Nayegandhi, Rachel Tidmarsh, and Zaffar Sadiq Mohamed-Ghouse, who brought such thoughtful perspectives to the stage this year.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect. It's never lost on us just how special it is to be part of this global geospatial community, and this year’s focus on geospatial as a driver of resilience, equity, and innovation was felt in every conversation.

Until next year!
