TFMoran Celebrates Ribbon Cutting at The Village on Technology Hill

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!

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

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!

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.

Built to Connect: Highlights from the 2025 Plan NH Fall Conference

This past Wednesday, September 17, professionals from across New Hampshire gathered in Concord for the Plan NH Fall Conference, centered around the theme: Built to Last: Reducing Impact, Maximizing Performance. On the surface, this may sound like a technical conversation about sustainable materials or energy-efficient buildings, the event delved much deeper. Through five engaging speakers, the conference explored the human, environmental, and community dimensions of designing spaces that truly stand the test of time.

Nancy E. Smith – CEO, GrowSmart Maine

Nancy Smith opened the day with a powerful reminder of how the pandemic reshaped our sense of place. She spoke about the loss of “third places”—parks, libraries, and gathering spots—and how essential they are to mental health and community life. Through storytelling, she challenged us to design spaces that foster human connection and trust. In a unique moment, she asked attendees to write haikus about connection, sparking spontaneous conversations and reminding us that design is ultimately about people.

Emma Sabella – Senior Waste Reduction Consultant, CET

Emma Sabella shared practical, inspiring solutions for reducing construction and demolition (C&D) waste. Representing the Center for EcoTechnology, she outlined how deconstruction—carefully dismantling buildings to salvage materials—can save money, support reuse outlets, and divert tons of waste from landfills. Emma emphasized that CET’s technical assistance is free, thanks to USDA funding, and shared real-world examples of adaptive reuse and smart material recovery. Her message: sustainability starts with planning, and there’s value in what we might otherwise throw away.

David Webb – Commercial Sales Lead, ReVision Energy

David Webb brought the conversation into the world of clean energy and building performance. Representing ReVision Energy, he highlighted practical ways to integrate renewable systems into commercial and residential projects. He also addressed barriers communities face—such as access to incentives and understanding evolving technologies. His session emphasized that reducing environmental impact isn’t just about new construction, but also retrofitting existing buildings with systems that are efficient, affordable, and scalable.

Matt O’Keefe – Energy Efficiency Coordinator, Unitil/NH Saves

Matt O’Keefe offered insight into how local utilities and programs like NH Saves are helping to improve energy performance across New Hampshire. He spoke about accessible energy efficiency measures for homes and businesses, and how smart design choices today can lead to lasting savings. By breaking down technical programs into clear, actionable steps, Matt helped demystify energy upgrades and showed how they can align with both sustainability goals and local economic development.

Joe Knapik – Technical Director, RPF Environmental

Joe Knapik provided a sobering but necessary perspective on worker health and safety in construction and environmental projects. With decades of experience in industrial hygiene, Joe reminded attendees that sustainability must include the people doing the work. He raised awareness about mental health challenges in the trades and emphasized the importance of managing hazardous materials safely. His call to action was clear: protect the workers, not just the materials. True sustainability is both environmental and human.

The 2025 Plan NH Fall Conference was a reminder that strong communities are built on connection—between people, places, and purpose. It reflected TFMoran’s focus on creating thoughtful, sustainable solutions that truly serve the communities we help shape. We are always proud to be a sponsor of Plan NH!
