TFMoran Celebrates Wolfe Park Revitalization Milestone

October 26, 2026 | Comments Closed | , , , , ,

TFMoran was pleased to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the renovated Luther “Coop” Cooper softball field at Wolfe Park in Manchester, New Hampshire last Friday the 23rd. The event brought together Manchester Mayor Jay Ruais and representatives from the city’s Parks and Recreation Department to celebrate the reopening of the field and continued investment in the community’s recreational spaces. Representing TFMoran at the event were Jonathan Devine, PE, the project’s Civil Engineer; Sophie Haddock, the lead Landscape Designer; and Nicole Arsenault, the firm’s Marketing Coordinator.

In place of a traditional ribbon cutting, attendees celebrated by taking swings at a softball tee and hitting softballs into the outfield—a fitting way to mark the return of the field to the community!

The renovated field features a new playing surface, improved drainage, spectator seating, and field lighting designed to support games and practices. These upgrades are part of Manchester’s ongoing efforts to enhance Wolfe Park and provide residents with improved recreational opportunities.

TFMoran developed a master plan for Wolfe Park’s revitalization, focusing on preserving existing amenities while introducing new recreational features and infrastructure improvements. The plan includes a one-mile walking loop, a 20,000-square-foot skate park, eight pickleball courts, improvements to the softball field, enhanced drainage systems, expanded parking, and renovated public restrooms. Existing amenities, including the playground and basketball courts, were also retained.

The ribbon-cutting celebration marked an important milestone in the park’s continued revitalization and highlighted the value of thoughtful planning in creating welcoming, functional public spaces. TFMoran is pleased to see these improvements come to life and looks forward to seeing Wolfe Park continue to serve Manchester residents and visitors for years to come.

Nick Golon Named President and Chief Engineer of TFMoran

July 8, 2026 | Comments Closed | , , ,

Bedford, N.H. July 8, 2026– TFMoran, a leading engineering and surveying firm serving northern New England since 1968, has appointed Nick Golon, PE, as President and Chief Engineer, effective July 1, 2026. Golon succeeds Robert Duval, PE, who announced in May that he would step down as President while continuing as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Golon joined TFMoran in 2005 and has served for the past six years as a Principal and head of the firm’s Civil Engineering Department. He is the fourth President in TFMoran’s 58-year history.

Golon credited TFMoran’s thoughtful succession planning as a foundation for the firm’s continued momentum. “The future is always in motion. Throughout its history, TFMoran has adapted quickly, stayed nimble and evolved to meet the needs of its clients and communities. I’m excited for what’s ahead as we remain deeply committed to the clients, communities and colleagues who define our firm.”

Raised in Maine’s Lakes Region, Golon developed an early interest in engineering through his seventh-grade shop teacher and a bridge-building competition, where his bridge earned first place. He continued that path through drafting and design classes at Lake Region High School’s vocational center before attending Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering Technology. While at Wentworth, Golon gained hands-on co-op experience as a field surveyor and field engineer on projects including the Kendall Station Repowering project in Cambridge, Mass., and Boston’s Big Dig.

Golon brings more than 25 years of civil engineering experience across a broad range of projects and is licensed in New Hampshire and Maine. During his tenure at TFMoran, he has led some of the firm’s largest site development projects, including the Merrimack Station Clean Air Project, a major pollution-control upgrade designed to significantly reduce mercury and nitrogen oxide emissions, and the Village on Technology Hill, a 110-acre mixed-use live-work-play development that integrates residential, commercial, and industrial uses in a walkable, environmentally focused community.

Golon has served on the Board of Directors of the New Hampshire Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), including as President, and continues to support ASCE’s education committee, which raises more than $20,000 annually for scholarships awarded to high school and college students. He also serves on the Project Committee for NeighborWorks Southern New Hampshire, helping recommend projects that advance the organization’s mission to enhance people’s lives and the community environment by providing access to quality housing. Outside work and community service, Golon lives with his wife and three children on their 1785 homestead in Bedford, N.H. He enjoys gardening, landscaping, following the Boston Celtics and New England Patriots, and telling stories around the campfire with his family.

“Our past presidents established a strong legacy of technical excellence, steady leadership, and trusted client service, and I look forward to continuing that progress,” Golon said. “TFMoran’s strength has always come from its people and from the long-standing relationships we have built with our clients, partners, and communities. As we move forward, we will remain focused on delivering thoughtful, practical solutions while supporting the next generation of engineers, surveyors, and design professionals who will carry the firm into the future.”

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!
