PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Whitman’s client recently received preliminary site plan approval for the development of their new corporate headquarters on a property located in central New Jersey. Whitman’s Environmental Project Manager, along with our client’s engineer, planner and counsel appeared before the Town Planning Board last month to provide testimony regarding the site re-development plans.
Whitman previously completed Phase II site investigations and addressed all potential environmental issues on the property. Whitman’s testimony to the Board summarized the investigations and offered solutions to any potential issues. The Planning Board was convinced that the development would be properly and safely completed, and the long-term use of the property would not involve an environmental risk. The Planning Board agreed that the re-development would be good for the community, and site plan approval was voted “yes” unanimously!
Whitman provides professional environmental services to a wide range of public and private sector clients throughout New Jersey. Our staff also includes registered professional engineers in numerous states across the country. From architects to manufacturers to private developers, our clients rely on Whitman’s highly trained and motivated professional staff for guidance relating to sensitive business transactions, sustainability consulting, complex litigation, and state-of-the-art technology.
Please reach out to Senior VP of Operations Eddie Alonso to learn more or to schedule a consultation.
