Happy International GIS Day from Pare’s GIS department! Today is the 25th anniversary of GIS Day. We were fortunate enough to attend the GIS Pro conference this past October hosted by Geospatial Professional Network (formerly URISA) in Portland, ME where we enjoyed all things GIS that the conference had to offer.

Tomorrow, Spencer Lynds will be giving a “lunch and learn” presentation for the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions (MACC) outlining the interpretation of stormwater reports for conservation commissioners. Please join us in supporting Spencer and registering for this virtual (and free!) discussion with the following link: https://lnkd.in/exyeX25c

Last month, Pare's Rising Professionals Committee organized a kayaking outing for Pare employees and family and friends. It was a beautiful day out for a tour of Wickford Cove, exploring all of Wickford Harbor including Cornelius and Rabbit Islands, Mill River and its associated salt marsh. It was a great time to bond with each other, and we are missing the warmer weather! Thank you to Alexander LaBreche for coordinating the event.

Pare will be exhibiting today and tomorrow at Southern New England APA Conference (SNEAPA) 2024. Please stop by our booth! We would love to chat about how we can help you and your communities.

Pare's Sofia Mancini, EIT attended the MassTrails Conference and joined a bike tour of the new construction on the SNETT (Southern New England Trunkline Trail) viaduct. The event was led by Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and was focused on bridge construction, landscape architecture, railroad history, project management, and the environmental impacts of construction. It was a great networking opportunity, and we look forward to more events like this one in the future! In addition, DCR just announced this year’s round of MassTrail Grants, due February 3, 2025.?More fantastic trails are in store!?For more information on the MassTrails grant, visit https://lnkd.in/gP7Ht9uu.?We would be happy to assist you with your application!

Pare employees continue to support Boys Town New England and the foster children in their care. Once again, we put together backpacks full of supplies for children going to school in the fall. Additionally, a group joined members from Boys Town New England for a one-night viewing of “Heart of a Servant,” a new documentary about the founder of Boys Town, Father Flanagan. It was amazing learning about the origins of Boys Town and the sacrifices Father Flanagan made over the years to make all children feel special.?Pare looks forward to continuing our work with Boys Town as the Christmas season approaches!

Members of the Pare team (Aaron Meyers and Matthew Alford, PE) attended another topping off ceremony last week, this time for the new Johnston Elementary School. The Town of Johnston approved a bond in 2022 to consolidate four elementary schools into one combined facility, which is expected to open in time for the 2026-2027 school year. Pare worked alongside The S/L/A/M Collaborative (SLAM) and provided site/civil, geotechnical, environmental, traffic engineering, and permitting services for the new school. We look forward to seeing the construction progress!

Join us in congratulating Pare's Mike Bonner for being recognized for his many years of dedication and service for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Rhode Island!

Another school topping off ceremony! This time, Pare attended the topping off for the new Central Falls High School, working with the city to transform the future of education for the children of the city. Pare worked alongside Ai3 Architects, LLC and provided structural engineering, traffic assessments, and environmental permitting services. We are excited about the progress on this school and look forward to seeing more in the future!

Pare is excited to be involved in this project as Owner’s Project Manager!
