Meet Ryan, a leader who heads Forsite Development’s operations across environmental risk transfer, renewables, and clean energy divisions. Since joining in 2018, Ryan has leveraged his engineering expertise to drive complex projects, transforming retired power and industrial sites into renewable assets. Ryan’s background in managing major EPFC projects for coal, combined cycle, and nuclear power plants gives him a unique edge in aligning Forsite’s innovative solutions with the needs of each community we serve.

Forsite Development and Baltimore County are converting the former C.P. Crane power plant into protected green space, preserving more than half of the 153-acre site through Maryland’s Program Open Space. As Councilman David Marks explains: “This not only eliminates development from a sensitive area but helps create a nearly unbroken green space from Carroll Island to Gunpowder Falls State Park. It’s a huge win for nature and our communities.” With over 80 acres slated for community use, Forsite will also explore renewable energy projects on the remaining land, continuing our commitment to sustainable redevelopment. #CommunityDevelopment #EnvironmentalStewardship #RenewableEnergy #ForsiteDevelopment

In 2004, CEO Tom McKittrick founded Forsite Development with a straightforward vision: transform vacant industrial spaces into assets for communities across the Southeast. Under Tom’s leadership, Forsite has redeveloped over 11 million square feet, including ReVenture Park—a 667-acre Superfund site turned renewable energy industrial park in Charlotte, NC. This landmark project, supporting over 1,100 projected green jobs and nearly $900 million in potential investments, exemplifies our commitment to sustainable redevelopment and environmental stewardship. Tom’s vision continues to shape Forsite’s work in creating sustainable legacies from industrial sites. #Leadership #GreenJobs #EnvironmentalStewardship #ForsiteDevelopment

Since its founding in 2004, Forsite Development has worked to turn complex industrial sites into vibrant assets for the communities they serve. Our journey began with industrial redevelopment and now includes environmental risk management and renewable energy projects across the Country. With collaborative partnerships, like our work with Galway Sustainable Capital, we’re dedicated to repurposing former coal plants and industrial sites to support resilient economies and environmental health. Forsite’s mission is simple: build new opportunities from old sites and advance the clean energy transition. #SustainableDevelopment #EnvironmentalStewardship #IndustrialRedevelopment #ForsiteDevelopment

At Forsite Development, we focus on unlocking the potential of legacy industrial sites through three specialized service lines: Industrial Redevelopment: Transforming underutilized industrial assets into valuable, sustainable community resources. Environmental Risk Transfer: Taking on complex environmental liabilities to ease transitions and streamline redevelopment efforts for property owners. Power Development: 1) Clean Energy: Purchasing natural gas to provide renewable energy and useful heat to users at industrial locations. 2) Forsite Renewables: Through a partnership with Galway Sustainable Capital, converting legacy coal sites into renewable energy hubs that advance the clean energy transition. 3) Power Infrastructure: Investigating repowering opportunities and power useage/Power Purchase Agreements through our significant experience in the power industry. Our team is dedicated to creating sustainable solutions that contribute to resilient communities, environmental health, and local economies. #IndustrialRedevelopment #EnvironmentalRisk #RenewableEnergy #ForsiteDevelopment
