EAI provided site/civil engineering services for the design and permitting of
a 14 acre, 100,000 s.f. retail center. The project included an act of the

Massachusetts and the Developer. The project included the design of proposed
building layout, parking lot layout, grading design, utility connections,
storm water management system, Low Impact Design measures, the relocation of a
36-inch MWRA Water Main, lighting layout and landscape design services. The
