2 HRG Projects Honored by Tri-County Regional Planning Commission

Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc (HRG) provided engineering services for two of the honorees at last week’s Premier Projects award ceremony: the Tuscarora Street Townhomes redevelopment and the West Caracas Avenue Parking Lot.

The Tuscarora Street Townhomes project successfully replaced an abandoned and blighted property in Susquehanna Township with new, affordable, and attractive housing. It was recognized in the Growing Our Communities category.

The West Caracas Avenue Parking Lot incorporated stormwater Best Management Practices like porous pavement to promote groundwater recharge and reduce the amount of runoff from the site. These BMPs also filter pollutants from the runoff, protecting local water quality. At the same time, the design creates greater parking efficiency and improves access management in a vital economic center within the township. The project was recognized in the Growing Within Our Environment category. (You can learn more about the project and the benefits of porous pavement in this article.)

We want to congratulate the Dauphin County Land Bank Authority, Susquehanna Township, and Derry Township, on these honors and thank them for the opportunity to assist with each project.
