Clients and Future Clients: Did you know that our company has its own scholarship for graduating students from Ocean County College?
The Donald W. Smith Scholarship was established to support graduating students pursuing their education in civil engineering, surveying, planning, landscape design, and/or environmental services.
This year, our scholarship recipients were Gary (Cody) Moore and Thomas Coraggio. Because of providing critical funding for students like Cody and Thomas, we helped them succeed and make their dreams of a college education a reality.
Next year, we are looking forward to bringing 2 more students a step closer to the college education they have always hoped and wished for! If you have any questions, please contact us and we will provide more information for you.

According to WorldCancerDay.org…
- Cancer is the second-leading cause of death worldwide.
- Up to 3.7 million lives could be saved each year by implementing resource appropriate strategies for prevention, early detection and treatment.
- 70% of cancer deaths occur in low-to-middle income countries.
On World Cancer Day – and every day – it is crucial for us to do our part and spread awareness as advocates for cancer patients from all walks of life. By doing so, our voices amplify the unified message that immediate action is needed to decrease the number of cancer deaths from 10 million each year.
