Degrove President and owner, Ray Niles, has met all licensing requirements and is now a Professional Land Surveyor in the great state of Louisiana. Degrove is excited for the opportunity to provide surveying and mapping services in Louisiana and is looking forward to building great working relationships with other firms and agencies in the state.
Degrove is also licensed to provide surveying and mapping services in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
Members of the A/E/C and supporting industries will gather at the JAXPORT Cruise Terminal on June 9 at 5:30pm for a cocktail reception and “Bring the Noise” letter writing campaign. Degrove is a pledged “Anchor Sponsor” of the event, which will show widespread support for enhancements to the Jacksonville Port Authority—Northeast Florida’s primary economic engine. Attendees are encouraged to write letters to a variety of elected officials expressing the need to fund JAXPORT enhancements, which will sustain/create jobs and generate revenue for Florida.
Among the issues that the “Bring the Noise” campaign will address are Mile Point (a navigational restriction in the St. John’s River that prevents large ships from entering the harbor with fully loaded cargo) and the need for a deeper harbor. Fixing these issues will bring more cargo to JAXPORT, and thus create thousands of jobs throughout our region. These, among other enhancements, will allow JAXPORT to reach its full potential and make Florida the shipping capital of the U.S. East Coast.
