University Mall, South Burlington, VT

For over 25 years, Sheila was the Project Manager and Land Use Permit Strategist for University Mall as the 56 acre commercial center continually modified its structure, site layout, and tenant mix.  Sheila helped the owners to navigate the ever-changing permitting environment, rules and regulations, and ensured the state’s largest retail center kept pace with Vermont’s environmental standards.  Sheila, on behalf of Summit Engineering, represented the Owners in matters related to local land use planning and provided guidance to the Mall as they worked to partner in the development of South Burlington’s Downtown District.

Lowes Plaza, Essex, VT

Sheila was the site designer and permit specialist for the build-out of the Lowe’s Plaza development.  Sheila found creative solutions to maximize the full potential of the site to support mixed uses and extend their presence onto Vermont Route 15.  She worked diligently with the Town and the State to overcome the many obstacles inherent at this site, and successfully acquired local and Act 250 approvals.
