Members of our Land Use Business Line recently volunteered with the Town of Wellfleet, Cape Cod Shellfish Department.

Our team collected juvenile oysters from the Town’s intertidal farm and spread them in Wellfleet Harbor, and helped place oyster seed and juvenile oysters in bags and racks to allow them to grow to a more predator-resistant size before being planted in public harvest areas.

The volunteer day builds on our ongoing work with the Wellfleet Shellfish Department to update permits for the Town’s more than century-old cultching program. The program sustains Wellfleet’s year-round oyster fishery for both commercial and recreational harvesters while supporting a critical maritime economic resource and providing environmental benefits to the harbor.

Thank you to Johnny, Sarah, and Nancy with the Wellfleet Shellfish Department for sharing your time and expertise with our team!

The Brandon Road Bridge has officially reopened to the public for the first time since 2021.
The reopening restored an important route for residents and vehicles supporting the nearby wastewater treatment plant serving the Town of Dudley and Town of Webster Massachusetts.

We celebrated this important milestone at a ribbon cutting featuring remarks from project partners MassDOT District 3 Highway Director Barry Lorion, State Representative John Marsi, Representative Joe McKenna, and Dudley Board of Selectmen Chair Christopher Starczewski, as well as our team members Jeffrey Faulkner and Dylan Felty. We were also joined by a representative for State Senator Ryan Fattman, other town officials, and Brian Gargan (absent was Project Manager, Andrea Lacasse).

We were pleased to provide engineering, permitting, bid phase, and construction phase services to help restore this vital community connection, which was supported through the donation of truss components by MassDOT; an executed state transportation bond bill earmark; and the Funding for Accelerated Infrastructure Repair (FAIR Share) program.

The Charlton School's new dormitories replace aging dorms and breathe new life into the campus in rural upstate New York. We provided permitting and site civil design, including driveways, walkways, and connections for on-site wastewater, stormwater management, drinking water, and electrical services. Centered around a common area and green space, the new housing supports student needs while fitting into the school’s rural campus setting.

National Water Quality Month underscores the planning needed to provide safe, high-quality drinking water as regulations evolve.

At the Dracut Water Supply District’s facility, earlier iron and manganese treatment improvements preserved space for expansion. That planning is now supporting the addition of PFAS treatment with minimal disruption to operations.

The historic Edgartown Lighthouse is once again open to the public following an extensive rehabilitation effort. Working with the Town of Edgartown, Spencer Preservation Group, and Biodiversity Works our team developed a historically accurate rehabilitation approach, evaluating the cast-iron tower's structural condition while protecting shorebird habitat and preserving the lighthouse's character.

Repairs included restoring the lighthouse’s cast-iron panels and wooden windows, sandblasting and repainting the exterior, and mitigating hazardous materials. The renewed landmark will continue serving as a navigational aid for mariners and a treasured destination on Martha’s Vineyard.

Congresswoman Lori Trahan, joined by Rep Kate Hogan and Senator Robyn Kennedy, visited our Forbush Mill Bridge Project yesterday to champion federal investment in local infrastructure projects.

Supported by a FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant, this project replaced two aging HDPE pipe culverts with a modern precast three-sided bridge structure, improving local drainage, roadway durability, and safety. The work also included restoring the stream that feeds into the Still River, stabilizing its banks and nearby wetlands, and replacing the roadway surface and guardrails near the town transfer station and Nashoba Regional High School corridor.

This visit highlights the continued importance of addressing aging infrastructure while improving roadway safety and ecological conditions across the Commonwealth. The project also marks the next step in the Bolton Town Hall's ongoing culvert asset management plan, which our team helped support.

We’re proud to be part of the project team and to have provided engineering, design, permitting, and bid assistance services for a project that will deliver lasting benefits to the community.
