Gilmore & Associates, Inc. Receives Environmental Action Award

The Bucks County Audubon Society Environmental Action Award for its conservation planning and low impact design of the Rapuano Tract. The Heritage Conservancy and Upper Makefield Township partnered in the preservation of over 176 acres of prime farmland on this highly visible property. The remaining 85 acres of the site are being developed in accordance with conservation planning and low impact design techniques that complement the preservation of the balance of the property. Innovative stormwater best management practices (B.M.P.’s) are designed to replicate the site’s pre-development hydrology, while the conservation planning approach seeks to preserve the site’s unique conservation values.

Environmentally Friendly Parking Lot Wins Audubon Award

The Bucks County Audubon Society held it’s First Annual Environmental Action Awards ceremony on November 19, 2003. These awards were presented to corporations or organizations that, through their actions on a specific project, have demonstrated a noteworthy commitment to environmental stewardship.

The Bridge Street Municipal Parking Facility Project has received the Bucks County Audubon Society Corporate Environmental Action Award for the Environmentally Friendly Development Category. Gilmore & Associates, Inc. provided design and construction services for an ecologically friendly parking lot for the New Hope Borough Business District in New Hope, PA. Tom Hanna, PE, Project Manager, was present to accept the award on behalf of Gilmore & Associates, Inc. This parking facility was completed in October 2002, and promoted the reuse of land while recognizing the sensitivity of the surrounding features. The design incorporated Best Management Practices through a unique bio-retention system, which promotes pollutant removal and groundwater infiltration for the stormwater runoff generated by the parking area.
