A message from Larry Barry, Steve Romeo, and Vaughn Rinner

Joining Forces

This summer will mark a new beginning for LandMark Design Group, and we have much to celebrate as we look ahead. I am extremely pleased to inform you that we have joined forces with Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB), a Massachusetts-based firm with 19 offices throughout the east coast and Virginia, including Virginia Beach and Williamsburg.

We at LandMark Design Group are excited by this opportunity to begin offering our clients a wider array of integrated services. We see this merger as a major milestone that will help our future growth. Since 1956, LandMark has provided engineering, surveying, planning, landscape architecture, and environmental services to public and private clients throughout the Hampton Roads and Williamsburg region. For more than 30 years, VHB has been providing integrated multidisciplinary planning, design, engineering, and consulting for some of the nation's most complex infrastructure and development initiatives. Together, VHB and LandMark are in a better position to serve you, our clients, and define the future for southeast Virginia.

During this transition, you will receive the same personal service, responsiveness, integrity and dedication that you have come to know. The names and faces you know and trust will not change. As always, your goals remain our top priority. I assure you that the service you expect from LandMark will only improve with the increased capabilities of VHB. For our clients with existing contracts, we will be operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of VHB so that we can continue to offer uninterrupted services. All new contracts will be with VHB as part of our combined operation.

We remain dedicated to serving you, and are always available to answer your questions and address your concerns. We look forward to sharing more information about this important news with you in the coming weeks. For more information about VHB, visit www.vhb.com.
