Borough Government Contributions
Gannett Fleming was a major contributor to the February issue of Pennsylvania Borough News, the magazine for Pennsylvania's borough governments.  Staff writers and topics are as follows:

  • Fran Albright of our Pittsburgh office wrote an article entitled "Watershed Management Offers Municipalities a Solution to Wet Weather Pollution Problems." The piece advises municipalities on how to comprehensively deal with runoff and combined sewer overflow problems.

 

  • Steve Rowley of our Lancaster office wrote an article entitled "Municipalities Benefit from Environmental Management Systems."  Steve has performed Environmental Management System (EMS) evaluations on numerous municipal and industrial facilities. Considering the growing concern with environmental standards and the advent of ISO 14001, Steve advocates that an EMS is an effective tool for managing all environmental aspects of municipal operations.


  • Dick Koch of our Harrisburg office co-authored "Controlling Towers and Wireless Facilities... Yes, You Can."   In this article, Dick describes a program in which Gannett Fleming and its partner firms can help municipalities control the proliferation and identification of telecommunications facilities.
