ENTRIX Project Manager Gretchen Greene and staff recently presented a strategic business plan detailing revenue-enhancing projects for the Valles Caldera National Preserve.  The 89,000-acre preserve, located in the Jemez Mountains, was purchased by the federal government from ranching interests in 2000.  It was established as an "experiment in land management"  therefore it is up to a board of trustees, not a federal agency, to ensure the preserve becomes self-suppporting by the year 2015.  Congress mandated public access to the preserve and the protection of natural resources. Since the business plan's release, reporters were individually called into a Sante Fe office for a long-distance computer presentation by ENTRIX's project leaders.  Many articles are now being published in newspapers and publications highlighting the challenges of the Valles Caldera National Preserve and possible activities and revenue-generating options that ENTRIX has proposed.

The Westshore Yacht Club is a mixed-use residential community and a 217-slip marina developed by WCI Communities with environmental permitting assistance provided by ENTRIX, Inc. Located along Old Tampa Bay in South Tampa, the site previously existed as an abandoned industrial warehouse facility, deepwater shipping access, and a dredge material disposal site. Classified as an urban redevelopment project, the development plan included the demolition of the existing industrial warehouses and office buildings and over-water structures previously used as a part of the ship docking. The project site is unique in that it has direct, open water access to Old Tampa Bay, creating adequate tidal flushing and ambient water quality conditions; it allows for the utilization of an existing, abandoned shipping basin that did not require dredging or permanent wetland impacts; and its location at the terminus of an existing channel prevents potential navigation hazards. The 28-month environmental permitting ... more >>
