Hanover, MA On January 1, 2022, Merrill Corp., owner of land use consulting firm Merrill Engineers and Land Surveyors, acquired Cavanaro Consulting, a highly regarded firm well-known for its civil engineering and permitting expertise. Both firms will operate as divisions of Merrill Corp.

“We are very excited for the Cavanaro crew to join the Merrill family,” said Joshua Bows, P.E., president of Merrill Corp. “Both firms have achieved exceptional milestones in their field. I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together.”

Merrill’s acquisition of Cavanaro Consulting is instrumental to Merrill’s strategy to build on its reputation as the “go to” land use consulting firm in Eastern Massachusetts.

“The merger combines the experience and resources of both firms to help clients plan, execute, and complete projects with unmatched efficiency,” said Bows.

The merger is a natural extension of both firms’ long history of collaborating on projects.

“It was a natural fit,” said John Cavanaro, P.E., president of Cavanaro Consulting. “Twenty years ago, we set out to deliver consulting engineering services comparable to the best in the business. Merrill was our gold-standard from day one. We are thrilled to be part of their team and look forward to keeping the bar high.”
