LIVERMORE FALLS – Robert Berry, III has been named president of Main-Land Development Consultants, Inc. following the resignation of former president and firm founder Darryl Brown, who on Tuesday was sworn-in as the commissioner for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
Berry, a licensed professional engineer who received a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Maine at Orono in 1994, joined Main-Land in 2004.
As an engineer and project manager at the firm, Berry has worked at designing, coordinating and guiding to successful completion projects throughout Maine including residential, industrial and multi-use developments; churches; commercial developments; institutional improvements; and municipal projects. He is currently leading site development efforts for both the Oxford Resort Casino and the Livermore Falls Medical Arts Building.
Berry lives with his wife and three sons on the family farm in Embden.
“While all of us in the Main-Land family are sad to see Darryl go, we congratulate and wish him well in his new role as Maine DEP Commissioner. At the same time, we want to assure our many valuable clients that we will continue to provide the professional, prompt and personable land planning consulting services our firm has built its reputation upon for nearly four decades,” said Berry, who has provided provisional leadership of the firm since early January when Brown’s nomination was announced.
In addition to Berry as its president, the firm will be led by a governing board that includes Main-Land’s personnel and engineering director, Tom DuBois; office manager and treasurer Angela Pinkham, Turner-based attorney Clint Boothby and Jay-based accountant Ron McAllister.
Main-Land will continue to offer soils and site evaluation work, formerly done by Brown, provided by Kenneth Stratton, a licensed site evaluator and certified soil scientist with more than three decades of experience.
