Type of Matter: Environmental/Land Use/Impact Assessment

Client's Challenge: Operational needs resulted in changes to building after permits were secured and plans approved. The changes triggered new state permitting requirements, including the potential for MEPA review.

The Goal: Keep client on original construction and occupation timetable to avoid operation interruptions and costs while also making changes to building.

Our Strategy: Work with state agencies to analyze and mitigate the impact of the proposed changes. Crafted solution that met the permitting requirements without the need for full scale impact assessment.

Results: Client made the changes they needed to the building and still occupied the building on schedule.
