"We're honored to join forces with these talented small businesses to deliver services aimed at maintaining and improving the infrastructure and facilities that enable visitors to responsibly and safely experience our national parks, monuments, and wildlife refuges," said Shawn Pelowitz, Associate Principal and Government Design Studio Director for Cushing Terrell. "Our natural environments call to us, and we visit these spaces for entertainment, education, and simple appreciation. We want to see these areas thrive so that everyone can continue to visit them for many years to come."
