HRG Opens New Office Space in Maryland and Southwestern Pennsylvania
HRG continues its growth path by opening two new offices this month. The first office is in the Professional Arts Building at 1 South Potomac Street in Hagerstown, Maryland. The other is at 1040 Eberly Way in Lemont Furnace in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
The office in Fayette is designed to bring HRG’s team closer to their established client base in the area, working with the county commissioners on their infrastructure bank program and representing several water and sewer authorities as their retained engineer. Operations in Fayette and surrounding counties will be managed by HRG’s assistant vice president, Jim Feath. Feath says this space is a demonstration of the firm’s commitment to localized service and investment in the community.
The Fairchance Georges Municipal Sewage Authority is one of HRG’s long-term clients in the Fayette area.
“We work side-by-side with our clients,” he says. “We truly embed ourselves in their community by participating in local organizations and creating a team of talented professionals who are actively involved with community groups. That’s a key differentiator for how HRG does business, and this office space enhances our ability to do that. It also provides a convenient meeting place for collaboration.”
The office in Maryland is part of the firm’s long-term plan for growth and expansion beyond its primary base in Pennsylvania and West Viginia. HRG’s chief operations officer, Ed Ellinger, says the firm is specifically looking to serve communities in Washington and Frederick Counties. “This region matches the key characteristics of the communities HRG typically serves,” he says. “It has strong community involvement and a forward-looking vision for growth: a great place to live and work!”
Though this is HRG’s first office space in Maryland, the firm has already established deep ties to the area, working closely with local stakeholders and business groups. “The Greater Hagerstown Committee and Washington County Chamber of Commerce have been very welcoming and helped us become a part of the fabric here,” HRG’s assistant vice president Bill Kick says. “We’ve been impressed by the level of organization and collaboration they foster on behalf of the community here.” HRG is currently working with Meritus Health, Radnor Property Group, Design Collective, Inc., and Morgan Keller Construction on graduate student housing at a new osteopathic medical school in Hagerstown.
