TFMoran Celebrates Ribbon Cutting at The Village on Technology Hill

July 8, 2026 | Comments Closed | , , , , , ,

Despite rainy skies, excitement remained high as project partners, state officials, and community leaders gathered on Tuesday to celebrate the ribbon cutting for The Village on Technology Hill in Londonderry, New Hampshire. The milestone marks a significant step forward for one of the state’s largest mixed-use developments, bringing together residential, commercial, and industrial spaces designed to support New Hampshire’s growing workforce and economy.

TFMoran is proud to have provided civil and structural engineering services for this transformative 110-acre development, working alongside North Branch Construction, developer Ken and Grace Solinsky, and Stone River Architects to help bring the vision to life.

The ceremony featured remarks from several project partners and distinguished guests, including Governor Kelly Ayotte, U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan, U.S. Representative Chris Pappas, and other state and local leaders. TFMoran’s newly appointed President and Chief Engineer, Nick Golon, PE, also addressed attendees, highlighting both the opportunities and engineering challenges presented by the site.

“This site is truly magnificent, spanning more than 110 acres with over 120 feet of elevation change,” Golon said. “It offers mountain views, and on a clear day— not today—and even a glimpse of the Boston skyline.“

Nick also spoke about the complexities of designing the project, noting the site’s steep slopes, extensive ledge, limited buildable shelf space, and surrounding wetlands. Through close collaboration with the project team, TFMoran developed engineering solutions that transformed the rugged terrain into a vibrant mixed-use community designed for generations to come.

Following the ribbon cutting, guests toured the newly completed apartment homes and commercial spaces while enjoying food trucks and local vendors stationed throughout the property. Although the weather was less than ideal, the rain did little to dampen the celebration as attendees experienced firsthand the scale and vision of the development.

The Village on Technology Hill will ultimately include 440 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments across nine residential buildings centered around a three-acre village green featuring walking trails, a playground, dog park, and community gathering spaces. The mixed-use campus will also include industrial facilities, retail space, an Easterseals New Hampshire childcare center serving up to 200 children, and pedestrian-friendly connections designed to create a true live-work-play environment.

As one of the largest privately funded developments currently underway in New Hampshire, The Village on Technology Hill represents an exciting investment in the region’s future. TFMoran is honored to have played an integral role in the engineering and design of this landmark project and congratulates the entire project team on reaching this exciting milestone. We look forward to seeing the community continue to grow as additional phases are completed over the coming years!

Two TFMoran Projects Receive Plan NH Merit Award of Excellence

June 23, 2026 | Comments Closed | , , , , , , , ,

TFMoran is pleased to have been part of two award-winning project teams recognized by Plan NH for excellence in planning, design, and development across New Hampshire.

One of the honored projects was Apartments @ 249 Main in Nashua, where TFMoran provided civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture services. Working alongside project owner and developer NeighborWorks Southern New Hampshire, architect John S. Jordan Design, and general contractor Hutter Construction, the team transformed a long-vacant downtown parcel into a vibrant mixed-income residential community.

The six-story development features 45 residential units, including 19 one-bedroom and 26 two-bedroom apartments. Designed to support smart-growth principles, the project revitalizes an underutilized site in the heart of downtown Nashua while providing much-needed housing within walking distance of local businesses, services, and public transportation. The development includes an outdoor courtyard, community room, management office, laundry facilities, and elevator access to all floors. Through long-term affordability restrictions, the project will continue to provide housing opportunities for generations to come.

TFMoran was also proud to contribute structural engineering services for the Rockingham County Municipal Complex in Brentwood. This 110,000-square-foot facility was designed by Warrenstreet Architects and constructed by Harvey Construction, with support from project partners including ReVision Energy, SRW Environmental Consulting, Coughlin Environmental Services, and Nobis Group.

Developed to consolidate multiple county departments into a single modern campus, the facility houses the Sheriff’s Department and Emergency Dispatch Headquarters, Department of Community Corrections, County Attorney’s Office, County Commissioners’ Offices, and the Registry of Deeds. The complex also includes a 131-seat multi-purpose auditorium, secure operational spaces, and infrastructure supporting a multi-megawatt solar energy system. TFMoran’s structural design incorporated steel framing, reinforced masonry shear walls, cold-formed metal framing, and special moment frames to support the building’s operational, security, and architectural requirements.

The Plan NH Merit Awards of Excellence recognize projects that demonstrate outstanding planning, design, collaboration, and community impact. The awards celebrate developments that enhance New Hampshire’s built environment through smart growth, livability, environmental stewardship, and innovative partnerships. This past Thursday, June 18th, Civil Department Manager, Nick Golon and Marketing Coordinator, Nicole Arsenualt attended the award night at Arts Alley, in Concord, NH to receive the awards on behalf of the firm.

Founded in 1989, Plan NH is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering excellence in planning, design, and development throughout New Hampshire. Through education, collaboration, and advocacy, the organization works to create vibrant, sustainable communities that balance the needs of people, place, and the environment.

TFMoran Sponsors Bowman Place 5-Year Anniversary Luau

June 8, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , , ,

TFMoran Chief Operating Officer, Dylan Cruess, and Marketing Coordinator, Nicole Arsenault, recently attended and sponsored the 5th Anniversary Celebration at Bowman Place Senior Living in Bedford, NH. The milestone event brought together residents, families, staff, and community partners for a festive Hawaiian luau celebrating five successful years of serving local seniors.

The celebration was especially meaningful for us, as our firm provided civil/site engineering, permitting, traffic engineering, and landscape architecture services for the Bowman Place at Olde Bedford development. Working alongside Munson & Associates, EGA Architects, and Eckman Construction, TFMoran helped bring the 95,000-square-foot senior living community to life. The three-story facility includes assisted living and memory care residences, along with numerous amenities designed to support residents’ independence, comfort, and quality of life.

Guests enjoyed an afternoon filled with Hawaiian-inspired food, tropical beverages, fresh fruit, and desserts including key lime pie pudding and toasted coconut cake. A tiki bar overlooking the putting green, tropical music, steel drums, and a live hula dancer helped create an authentic island atmosphere, while residents and their guests captured memories with a tropical-themed photo backdrop.

During the event, Dylan and Nicole were given a tour of the facility and had the opportunity to see firsthand how the community has grown since opening in 2021. Highlights included the dining room, library, salon, social bar, chapel, television lounge, game room, and other amenities available to residents.

It was inspiring to see how Bowman Place has flourished over the past five years. From welcoming its first 3 residents to becoming a thriving assisted living and memory care community with full occupancy and waiting lists, the facility continues to make a positive impact on the lives of local seniors and their families.

Congratulations to the entire Bowman Place team on this remarkable milestone. TFMoran is proud to have been part of the project’s development and looks forward to supporting the community’s continued success for years to come.

Jay Aube Featured in New England Real Estate Journal 2026 Spring Preview

March 25, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , ,

TFMoran is proud to share that our Director of Environmental Permitting and Senior Environmental Scientist, Jay Aube, CWS, was recently featured in the New England Real Estate Journal’s 2026 Spring Preview as part of their Expert Engineer Spotlight.

In his article, Jay highlights upcoming changes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), including the implementation of Nationwide Permits (NWPs) beginning March 15, 2026. These new permits will replace the existing Regional General Permits across New England, creating a more consistent federal permitting process.

One key takeaway is the introduction of a standardized 0.5-acre impact threshold for non-tidal resources, which may affect how projects are planned and permitted moving forward—particularly in states like New Hampshire.

For a full breakdown of what these changes mean and how they may impact future development, read Jay’s complete article here:

TFMoran Celebrates Engineer’s and Women in Construction Week!

March 4, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Today, March 4, 2026 at TFMoran, we were proud to celebrate Engineers Week 2026 and the 28th Annual Women in Construction (WIC) Week with a special appreciation breakfast!

Engineers Week, organized by DiscoverE in partnership with the American Society of Civil Engineers, recognizes the important contributions engineers make to our communities every day. We’re grateful for our Civil, Structural, and Traffic Engineers whose dedication, innovation, and expertise help shape the world around us!

We also celebrated the 28th annual WIC Week, organized by the National Association of Women in Construction, with this year’s theme, “Level Up, Build Strong.” WIC Week honors the strength, knowledge, and impact of women across the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry while inspiring the next generation of leaders.

Our team in both our Bedford and Portsmouth offices enjoyed all the traditional breakfast favorites — scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, waffles, fresh fruit salad, assorted pastries, and plenty of hot and iced coffee, catered by The Common Man Roadside and The Works Café. It was a great way to start the day and recognize the incredible talent and hard work that make TFMoran stronger every day!

For this year’s WIC Week celebration, Environmental Scientist, Olivia Boyer, was featured in a Q+A article in both High Profile Magazine and the New England Real Estate Journal

Published in High Profile Magazine March 2026:

Olivia Boyer is an Environmental Scientist at TFMoran. She graduated Cum Laude from Plymouth State University with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology. She has completed the Wetlands Certificate program at the University of New Hampshire and is currently pursuing her GIS certificate. Olivia brings experience in structural and environmental assessments of stream crossings, environmental and water quality monitoring, aquatic habitat restoration, native wildlife research, and ArcGIS analysis.
What is one project that you are most proud of, and how did it impact your organization or community? One project I am most excited about is a multi-property shoreline stabilization effort along the Piscataqua River. The design incorporates a hybrid living shoreline approach, combining hard armor with native vegetation—an increasingly effective solution for communities impacted by coastal storms. By coordinating improvements across adjacent properties, the project not only strengthens bank stability and protects homes from storm surge, but also enhances foraging and nesting habitat through the use of native plant species. It reflects a balanced approach that supports both resilience and ecological function.
Who has inspired you most in your career, and what advice would you share with the next generation of women entering the Architecture/Engineering/Construction industry? Throughout my career, I have been inspired by the strong professional relationships I have built within our industry. My advice to women entering the A/E/C field is to invest in your team—both internally and externally. Build meaningful relationships with colleagues, consultants, contractors, and engineers. Cultivating mutual respect and collaboration creates a trusted network of knowledgeable professionals you can turn to for guidance, perspective, and support throughout your career.
