Chambersburg, Pa. — RETTEW, a multidiscipline engineering, planning, land development, environmental consulting and surveying firm, today announced the opening of its Chambersburg office at an official ribbon-cutting ceremony held on site at 97B Brim Boulevard, Chambersburg, Pa.

RETTEW’s local projects currently include the Antrim Township/Greencastle Borough Joint Comprehensive Plan, a stream restoration project for the Borough of Chambersburg and three land development projects.

“These projects will allow the community to see what RETTEW is all about and witness firsthand our ongoing commitment to client satisfaction,” said Gary Stouffer, PLS, director of RETTEW’s Central Pennsylvania Region, who oversees the Chambersburg office. “We look forward to building on these initial successes to further support the community.”

Currently six employees work in the Chambersburg office, and the firm plans to eventually expand to a full complement of 17 employees locally. RETTEW has nearly 250 employees total. 

The Chambersburg office presently includes land development, environmental engineering and surveying staff, who receive technical support from RETTEW’s Lancaster and Camp Hill locations to also provide area clients with a complete line of civil and municipal engineering, planning, transportation engineering and environmental services.
