Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

With an eye toward growing its business in New York City, Melville-based H2M architects + engineers acquired Frank S. Smith, Architect, a Maspeth, Queens-based architectural firm with an additional office in East Northport.

H2M, a multidisciplinary firm with more than 260 professionals in architecture, engineering, environmental services and related fields, bolstered its architectural services with the acquisition of the 21-year-old firm. The majority of Frank S. Smiths projects, which include single-family homes, apartment buildings, commercial and office buildings, and industrial and warehouse spaces, have been in the five boroughs.

The Frank Smith acquisition has immediately strengthened our efforts to expand into New York City, Rich Humann, H2Ms president and CEO, said in a statement. Franks team brings a strong knowledge of the New York City Department of Buildings process and construction logistics process.

Smith and his staff will work out of H2Ms Melville headquarters, in the private sector architecture studio.

In addition to Melville, H2M has offices in White Plains, Albany and New City, plus two in New Jersey.

In an escalation of his battle with the central government, Okinawa Gov. Takeshi Onaga suggested Monday he may revoke earlier permission for the destruction of reefs in the course of land reclamation for the replacement base for the Futenma airfield.

Speaking at a news conference in the prefectural capital of Naha, Onaga said he has requested the Okinawa Defense Bureau to suspend any act that changes the status quo of the seabed and warned he may revoke the permission unless the bureau stops the work within a week.

Site preparation so far has included dropping huge concrete blocks onto the seabed weighing 15 to 45 tons, which will anchor buoys demarcating the construction zone.

Local media reported that some of the blocks appeared to have crushed coral growths.

At his news conference, Onaga demanded that the central government halt the work within a week so that the prefectural government can check out the reports.

An Okinawa official reached by phone told The Japan Times that Onaga was asked at the news conference whether he would revoke permission.

Ive already made up my mind, Onaga replied, according to the official.

The remark was widely interpreted as meaning he will annul the permit if Tokyo continues with the construction work without pausing to assess the possible coral damage.

The central government appears likely to ignore it. Also Monday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said in Tokyo that the government will not stop any part of its construction work in Henoko, including an ongoing drilling survey, whatever actions the Okinawa Prefectural Government might take.

We will just calmly go ahead with the work, Suga told his regularly scheduled news conference.

Cyclists in Saffron Walden are set to benefit after Uttlesford district councillors pledged 300,000 towards three community initiatives.

The move comes after Uttlesford District Council's cabinet approved the allocation of the six-figure sum from the Strategic Initiatives Fund at their most recent meeting.

The following will be allocated from the Fund:

Cllr Robert Chambers, cabinet member for finance and administration, said: "The Strategic Initiatives Fund was set up last year with the money coming from savings made by the Council over the past few years. Further investment was made into the Fund as part of the budget for 2015-16.

"Through the Fund we are keen to back projects that benefit as many people in the district as possible. These particular schemes have been identified as meeting the Council's objectives in supporting both our communities and the local environment, and are positive, long-term commitments to the residents of Uttlesford and more initiatives will follow."

The Uttlesford Cycling Strategy was given cabinet approval in February and lists aspirations to identify ways to boost cycling in the district.

The investment will work in line with the strategy to assist with the replacement and provision of cycle stands, signage and small scale works.

The council has argued Neighbourhood Plans are a "key" tool in allowing local communities to bring forward ideas and plans for their area to develop. A paper on how the funding will be used to benefit neighbourhood planning will be presented to the Uttlesford Planning Policy Working Group on March 30.

Photovoltaic panels will be installed on the Council's vehicle workshop and museum store at Shire Hill depot in Saffron Walden. District councillors expressed hope this would provide 'free' electricity to the buildings and give a small income to the Council from the feed-in tariff. The proposal is subject to a survey and potential structural costs.
