On June 7, 2017, NV5’s Richland, Washington, office celebrated its transition from “Dade Moeller” to “NV5” at a ribbon cutting ceremony held in conjunction with the Tri-Cities Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The ceremony started at 3:30 p.m. with Dave McCormack, NV5 Chief Operating Officer, Environmental Services, welcoming the approximately 100 guests and staff to the event and unveiling the office’s new “NV5” external sign.
Remarks by Rob Costello, NV5 President of the Buildings, Energy, and Sciences (BES) division, followed, with a focus on NV5 services that can be beneficial to local development efforts, from supporting new construction or renovations of local schools and parks, to repurposing old or underutilized properties, to completely reimagining our urban design and structures.
Cookies bearing the NV5 name and light refreshments were provided during a mix and mingling period. Immediately following the ribbon cutting ceremony, at 4:30 p.m., the Tri-Cities Local Business Association held its regularly scheduled monthly meeting at the NV5 Richland Office’s conference room.
