Two TFMoran Projects Receive Plan NH Merit Award of Excellence

TFMoran is pleased to have been part of two award-winning project teams recognized by Plan NH for excellence in planning, design, and development across New Hampshire.

One of the honored projects was Apartments @ 249 Main in Nashua, where TFMoran provided civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture services. Working alongside project owner and developer NeighborWorks Southern New Hampshire, architect John S. Jordan Design, and general contractor Hutter Construction, the team transformed a long-vacant downtown parcel into a vibrant mixed-income residential community.

The six-story development features 45 residential units, including 19 one-bedroom and 26 two-bedroom apartments. Designed to support smart-growth principles, the project revitalizes an underutilized site in the heart of downtown Nashua while providing much-needed housing within walking distance of local businesses, services, and public transportation. The development includes an outdoor courtyard, community room, management office, laundry facilities, and elevator access to all floors. Through long-term affordability restrictions, the project will continue to provide housing opportunities for generations to come.

TFMoran was also proud to contribute structural engineering services for the Rockingham County Municipal Complex in Brentwood. This 110,000-square-foot facility was designed by Warrenstreet Architects and constructed by Harvey Construction, with support from project partners including ReVision Energy, SRW Environmental Consulting, Coughlin Environmental Services, and Nobis Group.

Developed to consolidate multiple county departments into a single modern campus, the facility houses the Sheriff’s Department and Emergency Dispatch Headquarters, Department of Community Corrections, County Attorney’s Office, County Commissioners’ Offices, and the Registry of Deeds. The complex also includes a 131-seat multi-purpose auditorium, secure operational spaces, and infrastructure supporting a multi-megawatt solar energy system. TFMoran’s structural design incorporated steel framing, reinforced masonry shear walls, cold-formed metal framing, and special moment frames to support the building’s operational, security, and architectural requirements.

The Plan NH Merit Awards of Excellence recognize projects that demonstrate outstanding planning, design, collaboration, and community impact. The awards celebrate developments that enhance New Hampshire’s built environment through smart growth, livability, environmental stewardship, and innovative partnerships. This past Thursday, June 18th, Civil Department Manager, Nick Golon and Marketing Coordinator, Nicole Arsenualt attended the award night at Arts Alley, in Concord, NH to receive the awards on behalf of the firm.

Founded in 1989, Plan NH is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering excellence in planning, design, and development throughout New Hampshire. Through education, collaboration, and advocacy, the organization works to create vibrant, sustainable communities that balance the needs of people, place, and the environment.

TFMoran Sponsors Bowman Place 5-Year Anniversary Luau

TFMoran Chief Operating Officer, Dylan Cruess, and Marketing Coordinator, Nicole Arsenault, recently attended and sponsored the 5th Anniversary Celebration at Bowman Place Senior Living in Bedford, NH. The milestone event brought together residents, families, staff, and community partners for a festive Hawaiian luau celebrating five successful years of serving local seniors.

The celebration was especially meaningful for us, as our firm provided civil/site engineering, permitting, traffic engineering, and landscape architecture services for the Bowman Place at Olde Bedford development. Working alongside Munson & Associates, EGA Architects, and Eckman Construction, TFMoran helped bring the 95,000-square-foot senior living community to life. The three-story facility includes assisted living and memory care residences, along with numerous amenities designed to support residents’ independence, comfort, and quality of life.

Guests enjoyed an afternoon filled with Hawaiian-inspired food, tropical beverages, fresh fruit, and desserts including key lime pie pudding and toasted coconut cake. A tiki bar overlooking the putting green, tropical music, steel drums, and a live hula dancer helped create an authentic island atmosphere, while residents and their guests captured memories with a tropical-themed photo backdrop.

During the event, Dylan and Nicole were given a tour of the facility and had the opportunity to see firsthand how the community has grown since opening in 2021. Highlights included the dining room, library, salon, social bar, chapel, television lounge, game room, and other amenities available to residents.

It was inspiring to see how Bowman Place has flourished over the past five years. From welcoming its first 3 residents to becoming a thriving assisted living and memory care community with full occupancy and waiting lists, the facility continues to make a positive impact on the lives of local seniors and their families.

Congratulations to the entire Bowman Place team on this remarkable milestone. TFMoran is proud to have been part of the project’s development and looks forward to supporting the community’s continued success for years to come.

TFMoran Sponsors Addi Roy in the “A Shot For Life” Classic

At TFMoran, we are proud to support young athletes who are making a difference both on and off the ice. This year, we are excited to sponsor Addison Roy’s participation in the A Shot For Life Classic, a premier event that brings together some of the top high school hockey players from Northern New England while raising funds for brain cancer research. Addi personally raised more than $1,000, contributing to the event’s impressive total of approximately $90,000 raised for brain cancer research!

As the daughter of TFMoran Principal and Senior Structural Engineer Kyle Roy, Addi has grown up understanding the value of hard work, dedication, and community involvement. A talented student-athlete, she was recently selected to participate in the A Shot For Life Family Program and the Northern New England All-Star Game—an honor that recognizes both her hockey abilities and her character.

Balancing Academics, Athletics, and Community Impact

Like many student-athletes, Addi juggles a busy schedule of academics, hockey, and extracurricular commitments. While balancing these responsibilities can be challenging, she views it as an opportunity to strengthen her time-management skills and prepare for future success.

“As a student-athlete, you have to give your all in everything you do,” Addi shared. “Balancing school and hockey isn’t always easy, but it’s helped me learn how to manage my time and stay focused.”

A Well-Deserved Opportunity

When Addi learned she had been selected for the A Shot For Life Family Program, she was thrilled.

“I was really excited,” she said. “It’s an amazing opportunity to meet new people, play with talented athletes, and give back to a great cause.”

The selection process included not only evaluating players’ skills on the ice but also learning about them as individuals. Being chosen to compete among some of the region’s top players gave Addison a significant confidence boost and reinforced the hard work she has put into her sport.

Using Hockey to Make a Difference

One of the most meaningful aspects of the A Shot For Life Classic is its mission. The organization raises funds for brain cancer research at Massachusetts General Hospital, helping support patients, families, and future breakthroughs in treatment.

“Hockey has always been a huge part of my life,” Addi explained. “I’m excited that I can use something I’m passionate about to help people who are going through difficult situations and support such an important cause.”

Looking Forward to the Experience

As the event approaches, Addi is eager to take advantage of everything the A Shot For Life Classic has to offer.

On the ice, she’s looking forward to competing alongside talented players from New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont in a fun, high-level environment. Off the ice, she’s excited to build new friendships, connect with fellow athletes, and contribute to an event that positively impacts families affected by brain cancer.

“I’m excited to meet new people and have fun playing hockey without the pressure,” she said. “But I’m also looking forward to knowing that what we’re doing is helping families and supporting important research.”

Advice for Future Athletes

For other young athletes hoping to excel in their sport while making a difference in their communities, Addi offers simple but meaningful advice:

“Have fun and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there,” she said. “Getting involved in something like A Shot For Life takes you outside your comfort zone, but it’s worth it when you’re helping a great cause. Every little bit of support can make a difference.”

Addi is proud that the funds raised through her participation will help advance brain cancer research and support future patients and families. She is excited to see the continued growth of the A Shot For Life Classic and the impact it will have for years to come.

TFMoran is honored to support Addi in this incredible opportunity and wishes her the best of luck at the A Shot For Life Classic. We look forward to cheering her on as she represents her community, her teammates, and an important cause.

TFMoran Supports the 2026 NH Envirothon!

At TFMoran, we are proud to support programs that inspire the next generation of environmental professionals. One of those programs is the NH Envirothon, an educational competition that gives high school students hands-on experience in environmental science, conservation, and natural resource management.

This year’s NH Envirothon was held at NHTI – Concord’s Community College, where students from across New Hampshire came together to test their knowledge in aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and current environmental issues.

As part of the event, TFMoran Environmental Scientist, Olivia Boyer, spoke with students about future career opportunities in the environmental science field. Olivia shared insight into the many paths available within the industry, from environmental permitting and natural resource management to conservation and sustainability, helping students better understand how their interests can lead to rewarding careers.

About NH Envirothon:

Live Free and Conserve!

Since 1992, NH Envirothon has empowered students through real-world environmental education and teamwork-based competition. The program encourages participants to think critically about environmental challenges while developing leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

We are honored to support organizations like NH Envirothon that are helping shape the future of environmental stewardship in our communities.

Envirothon Competition

Each year, volunteer advisers work with teams of students, supported by local conservation districts, forestry associations, and various natural resource organizations. Students are tested on their knowledge in five key areas: aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and current environmental issues. Through the program, participants gain critical teamwork, resource management, and ecological skills, while also exploring potential career paths in the environmental sector. Top-performing teams from each state and province advance to the National Conservation Foundation Envirothon (NCFE), where they compete for national recognition, scholarships, and prizes. The Envirothon Competition is a dynamic, cross-disciplinary experience that goes beyond science, integrating elements of history and cultural studies. The program is open to all high school students, and teams may be formed by schools, homeschool groups, agricultural associations, scout troops, or community service organizations. Teachers, home-school parents, scout leaders, and group mentors can help build teams, whether as part of a class, club, or after-school activity. To learn more about NH Envirothon, visit nhenvirothon.org. The NH Envirothon program is administered by The NH Association of Conservation Districts (NHACD), with additional support from The NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), The Society of American Foresters – Granite State Division, The Society of Soil Scientists – Northern New England, The Fox Research and Demonstration Forest, and NHTI- Concord’s Community College

TFMoran Celebrates Cinco de Mayo with NH Housing!

Yesterday, TFMoran’s Bedford office had the pleasure of joining our neighbors at New Hampshire Housing for a Cinco de Mayo lunch celebration, featuring B’s Taco Truck.

Those who participated enjoyed a delicious, customizable meal with options including tacos, burritos, or burrito bowls, along with a variety of meats and fresh toppings. It was the perfect way to spend a beautiful, sunny spring day while enjoying great food outdoors with coworkers and neighbors.

Thank you again to our friends at New Hampshire Housing for the kind invitation and for bringing everyone together!

Cinco de Mayo is an important historical and cultural day in Mexican history! Here are a few quick facts about the holiday:

  • Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862!
  • The victory was significant because a smaller, under-equipped Mexican army defeated a much larger French force.
  • The holiday is most widely celebrated in the Mexican state of Puebla, where the battle took place.
  • Cinco de Mayo is often celebrated in the United States as a way to recognize and celebrate Mexican culture and heritage!
  • It is not Mexico’s Independence Day, that is celebrated on September 16.

The 603X VEX-RAYS team has demonstrated remarkable dedication, innovation, and teamwork to earn their place on the world stage in St. Louis. Their achievement reflects countless hours of hard work and a strong commitment to excellence in STEM.

By sponsoring the VEX-RAYS, TFMoran is excited to support a program that inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and prepares students for future academic and career opportunities. We wish the team the best of luck as they represent their community at the world championship!
