My name is Piotr Swietuchowski and I serve as a Land Development Service Leader for VHB in Mid-Atlantic Region. VHB is multidisciplinary professional consultant providing an engineering, landscape architecture, environmental and planning services, with offices across the East Coast including Commonwealth of Virginia.
We provide landscape architecture services along the East Coast from Maine to Florida and in all the states we practice, this profession is regulated by the state. Our landscape architects provide vital landscape architecture services every day for the National Park Service at landmark sites such as the Jefferson Memorial and Cape Hatteras National Seashore, along with state and local governments on critical infrastructure projects.
I am urging the Board to continue licensure for Landscape Architects in Virginia for the following reasons:
Protection of Public Health, Safety, and Welfare
Fair Competition and Economic Impact
Thank You,
Piotr (Peter) Swietuchowski
