In this month’s Employee Spotlight we would like to highlight and congratulate the City of Alexandria Land Use & Zoning team.

The dynamic team, Cathy Puskar, Bob Brant, and Caroline Herre, received unanimous approval for the redevelopment of the existing Potomac Yard Regal Cinema site into the Virginia Tech/North Potomac Yard Innovation District. They each took on key roles in the project and ensured that every step represented the client’s best interests through the approval process.

Congratulations Cathy, Bob, and Caroline!
