Loggerhead Marine Life Center
November 18, 2019
JUNO BEACH, FL – Loggerhead Marine Life Center is well-known to the residents of the Town of Juno Beach, who have enthusiastically supported the growth of the Center over the last three decades in their mission of saving sea turtles and educating the public about conservation of sea life, with a particular focus on sea turtles. Beginning in 2004, 2GHO developed the site plan, landscape architecture and the design of the turtle yard, which has been winning the hearts of the public ever since and providing vital species conservation of the endangered Loggerhead Sea Turtle.
Having realized great success in their mission, in 2014 the Marine Life Center reached out again to 2GHO for assistance in expanding the facility. 2GHO received approval for the final site plan and accompanying entitlements needed to add nearly 28,000 square feet. This expansion will allow the Center to increase the outdoor turtle yard space, expand their public educational space and allow additional space to further their research and knowledge of these amazing creatures. In addition, 2GHO filed for and received approval for a variance allowing the Center to improve and enhance the property and building signage. The expansion project is currently under construction with completion anticipated sometime during the first half of 2021.
Ft. Pierce Industrial Aggregate Recycling Facility
October 29, 2019
FT. PIERCE, FL – 2GHO is pleased to have assisted Doug Eakins, Cindi Frick and Steve Eakins of D.S. Eakins Construction Corp. with the approval they sought from the City of Ft. Pierce for the development of another one of their award-winning concrete recycling facilities. 2GHO designed the site plan and landscape plan in tandem with overseeing the governmental approval process necessary to successfully approve this recycling facility to be located within the City of Ft. Pierce. The Team consisted of George Gentile, FASLA, Emily O’Mahoney, FASLA, and Pat Lentini of 2GHO; Jonathan Rickets, Jonathan T. Rickets, Inc. PE; Sharon Merchant, The MS Factor; and Dennis G. Corrick, PA, Dean, Mead, Minton & Zwemer.
Concrete recycling takes large volumes of concrete rubble from construction sites and crushes it to be reused as road base. This allows concrete debris to stay out of landfills, thereby saving landfill space and conserving natural resources by reducing the need for gravel mining., water, coal, oil and gas. The facility is expected to serve at least a 20 mile five to ten-mile radius for construction debris and roadwork building, minimizing truck travel and pollution.
2GHO is proud to have the opportunity to partner with D.S. Eakins in our shared mission to embrace and improve the environment!
