Part of our role as a project manager is always public relations. Providing honest, straightforward information to communities, neighbors and governments is essential to move projects from drawing board to completion.
Impact on environments, residents and traffic are just some of our concerns.

The Brigantine Connector was designed to provide access between the Atlantic City Expressway and Route 30 in Southern New Jersey. On behalf of Mirage Resorts, Inc. and the Atlantic City Council, Synterra conducted an extensive community information campaign to foster public support for the highway connector.

Bringing the Public in.
Designed to pass under an established residential area, the designs focused on sensitive construction methods such as a passive park to minimize impact to local residents. Both large and small community meetings were arranged to discuss community concerns and to minimize speculation and rumor before construction was initiated.

Building Consensus in Boardrooms
and in Communities.
Synterra constructed detailed scale models of the complete roadway corridor and passive park above the proposed connector. Models were made available at public meetings to relieve speculation of nearby residents. Following the final presentation of design alternatives, Synterra’s proposal was enthusiastically approved by the Atlantic City Council.

Connecting Communities.
This underground tunnel connector made way for access from places such as the Atlantic City Convention Center to the Brigantine community where various hotels are under construction.
