VHB Receives GRACRE Awards for Affordable Housing Developments
*
VHB was recognized at the Greater Richmond Association for Commercial Real Estate (GRACRE) Annual Awards Ceremony for our contributions to the Helios and NOON Ingram projects. Helios received the Best Sustainability Project award, and NOON Ingram was recognized as the Best Affordable Housing Project.The event honors outstanding projects that helped shape the Greater Richmond Region in 2025 and celebrates individuals making a lasting impact on the GRACRE community.
Both projects reflect VHB's commitment to advancing high-quality, affordable housing that strengthens neighborhoods and delivers lasting value for residents and developers alike.
NOON Ingram
Located in Richmond's Oak Grove neighborhood, NOON Ingram is a 240-unit, four-story affordable housing development financed through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and approved by Virginia Housing. VHB partnered with developer Lynx Ventures and architect Baskervill to provide civil engineering, permitting, survey, and lighting design services, supporting a development that offers modern apartments alongside amenities including a park, outdoor fitness area, dog walk, bike storage, and a pool.
Community engagement was central to the project's success. VHB collaborated with stakeholders through community meetings and neighborhood outreach while navigating the City's Special Use Permits (SUPs) and Development Review Plan (DEVR) processes. VHB's scope also included stormwater management and utility coordination. Strong deliverables and close collaboration with the construction team allowed tenants to occupy the building four months ahead of schedule, exceeding client expectations and bringing affordable housing to south Richmond sooner than planned.
Helios
Helios is a 186-unit, income-restricted LIHTC community designed with sustainability and livability at its core. VHB partnered with developer Spy Rock to provide civil engineering, rezoning, permitting, surveying, landscape architecture, lighting, and amenity design for the Virginia Housing-approved development. The site's steep terrain presented a major challenge, and VHB worked with the project architect to design building floor levels that follow the natural slope of the land, reducing major excavation and fill needs while helping lower construction costs.
VHB's regulatory knowledge and strong local relationships helped keep the project on an accelerated schedule and support an on-time financing closing. Sustainability is central to Helios, featuring an on-site solar array and resident amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, playground, and convenient public transit access.

Quadient and Solix Strengthen SaaS Communications Lifecycle with Expansion of Advanced Enterprise Archiving
Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT), a global automation platform powering secure and sustainable business connections, announced today that together with its partner Solix Technologies, it is expanding the availability of Quadient Inspire Digital Vault, a secure cloud-native archiving and retrieval solution for storing, managing and retrieving high-volume customer communications and enterpriserecords. First successfully launched in Europe and APAC in September 2024, Inspire Digital Vault is now available in North America and South America.
Customer communications teams face rapidly growing volumes of content, increasing regulatory scrutiny and high expectations for fast, accurate access to communication records.

Inspire Digital Vault is powered by Solix Technologies, a global leader in enterprise data management and information lifecycle governance.
"With Inspire Digital Vault now globally available, Quadient and Solix together are enabling organizations to modernize their archive infrastructure, reduce operational risk and meet rising expectations for secure, highly personalized, automated customer communications," said Lilac Schoenbeck, senior vice president for Digital Product, Quadient. "This expansion underscores our commitment to building a unified cloud platform that supports every stage of the customer communications lifecycle."
With Solix and Quadient technology working together, Inspire Digital Vault replaces outdated, limited on premise archives with a modern solution built with end-to-end encryption for security and compliance, audit trails and versioning, and elastic multi-tenant SaaS for enterprise-ready scalability and performance.
"Customer communications are now a governed data asset, not just a delivery function," said Mark Lee, chief product officer, Solix Technologies. "Together with Quadient, we are helping enterprises unify fragmented communication records into a secure, compliant, cloud-native archive built for scale, audit readiness and long-term value. Inspire Digital Vault brings the communications lifecycle and data lifecycle together in a way that reduces risk while unlocking new opportunities for insight and efficiency."

VALLEY FORGE, Pennsylvania, May 1 -- PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity, issued the following news release on April 29, 2026:
* * *
Over 800 New Generation Projects Seek To Connect Under PJM's Reformed Process
First-ready, first-served Cycle ends backlog and offers a faster, more predictable path for resources to join the grid
*
PJM Interconnection today announced that 811 new generation projects, capable of generating 220 gigawatts of electricity, have applied to connect to the grid through the first Cycle of PJM'sreformed interconnection process. This marks the first major intake under a redesigned approach focused on improving the certainty, speed and discipline of project review.
The application window closed April 27, and PJM now begins a validation phase to confirm which projects have submitted the required technical and financial information to move forward. All projects in this Cycle are being processed under the new framework, with no remaining backlog from prior queues.
The reformed process replaces PJM's prior first-come, first-served model with a first-ready, first-served approach, prioritizing projects that are more advanced and better positioned to move forward. Projects must demonstrate they are viable before entering the queue, including meaningful up-front financial commitments and proof of site control. These requirements are designed to reduce speculative projects, improve predictability and increase the overall pace of interconnection.
"PJM and our stakeholders have created a process that gets as many projects approved as quickly and safely as possible," stated Interim President and CEO David Mills. "These numbers represent significant interest from developers resulting from strong market signals, and our reformed process is designed to prioritize viable projects that can move to construction and operations with greater speed and certainty."
PJM is also using advanced tools and pathways it has implemented in recent years to improve efficiency at scale. This includes HyperQ, the AI-enabled tool developed by Google's Tapestry to help review large volumes of application data more quickly and efficiently. HyperQ is already helping with these reviews by identifying and helping to assess sections of documents for further review. PJM expects the efficiencies offered by HyperQ to reduce study times and will be evaluating the tool's impact throughout Cycle 1.
The volume of applications reflects strong developer interest and growing electricity demand across the PJM region, driven by data centers, advanced manufacturing and broader electrification trends. Bringing new generation online is critical to maintaining grid reliability as demand continues to increase. With the start of this Cycle, all generation seeking to connect to the PJM grid is now being processed.
The applications include a diverse mix of generation resources:
* 811 total projects, led by storage (349), natural gas (157), solar (142), wind (65), solar-storage hybrids (45), nuclear (27), other (15) and hydro (11).
* 220 GW of nameplate capacity, led by natural gas (105.8 GW), storage (66.5 GW), nuclear (17.9 GW), solar (14.8 GW), solar-storage hybrid (8.9 GW), wind (4.7 GW), hydro (0.15 GW) and other (0.5 GW).
The "other" category includes biomass, coal, methane, and for the first time, fusion energy.
"We are encouraged by the diversity of generation types that are seeking to join the PJM generation fleet," said Mills. "That includes first-time innovative technologies such as small nuclear reactors and fusion, more storage projects than any other technology, a resurgence in natural gas and continued strong participation by renewables and hybrids. This is good news because we need all the generation we can get."
Between 2024 and 2030, PJM expects electricity demand to increase by more than 30 GW, driven largely by data centers. Demand growth is outpacing the addition of new supply, risking reliability and making the timely interconnection of new resources critical to keeping the lights on for 67 million people in 13 states and the District of Columbia.
The gigawatt and megawatt figures represent the maximum potential output of a resource into the system. Based on historical performance, only a percentage of projects that apply for interconnection will sign interconnection agreements. Details on specific projects seeking interconnection are confidential until the application is officially accepted.
The opening of the new interconnection Cycle represents the culmination of PJM's successful interconnection process reform that was first implemented in July 2023. Since 2020, PJM has processed more than 300 GW of projects, resulting in 103 GW worth of projects with signed interconnection agreements. Many of these projects, however, are either not being built at all or are being slowed by hurdles such as state permitting and supply chain backlogs.
PJM is working with stakeholders in the public and private sectors to help projects get built once they clear PJM's process and to manage the reliable integration of data centers while new generation resources are being developed. Projects will be reviewed in the Cycle in what is designed to be a one- to two-year process, depending on the impact of an individual project.
* * *
PJM Interconnection, founded in 1927, ensures the reliability of the high-voltage electric power system serving 67 million people in all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. PJM coordinates and directs the operation of the region's transmission grid, which includes 88,417 miles of transmission lines; administers a competitive wholesale electricity market; and plans regional transmission expansion improvements to maintain grid reliability and relieve congestion. PJM's regional grid and market operations produce annual savings of $5 billion. For the latest news about PJM, visit PJM Inside Lines at insidelines.pjm.com.

Booz Allen Accelerates Autonomous Drone Capabilities
Strategic investment supports DoW's effort to bolster the U.S. drone manufacturing base, enables production at scale
*
Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) today announced that it has made a strategic investment in PDW, a Huntsville, Alabama-based company that designs and manufactures advanced unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for defense and public safety.
This investment reflects a strategicalignment between Booz Allen's expertise in AI, autonomy and defense tech with PDW's proven, domestically produced drone platforms to accelerate the delivery of mission-critical UAS capable of advanced surveillance, operating in contested environments, and strike missions.
This work aims to directly address the Pentagon's focus on domestic drone manufacturing and its urgent call for reliable, autonomous drone capabilities at scale. As a domestic manufacturer, PDW designs, engineers, and produces systems at its 90,000-square-foot drone factory in Huntsville and is capable of producing 100,000 drones annually.
"Drones are rapidly reshaping the speed, scale, and economics of modern warfare," said Randy Yamada, vice president at Booz Allen. "Our investment in PDW reflects a shared focus on accelerating the deployment of mission-ready, resilient, American-manufactured drone capabilities. By aligning advanced autonomy with domestic production, we are making the kinds of capabilities the Department of War needs to stay ahead a reality and directly supporting its Drone Dominance Program."
"At PDW, we aren't just creating new capabilities, we're building the industrial capacity to deliver drones at meaningful scale," said PDW CEO James Slider. "This means expanding American manufacturing capacity, scaling next-generation engineering teams, and anchoring our supply chain here at home to put the U.S. and its allies in a position of strength. This is the capability gap PDW was built to close and the mission we execute against every day."
This investment enables Booz Allen to bring its autonomy and digital engineering expertise to bear, developing new solutions that reduce the burden on the operator. It represents a significant commitment to bolstering the U.S. domestic drone manufacturing industry while making a real mission impact for the warfighter at the cost and scale the U.S. military needs.
"Booz Allen invests in companies that deliver mission impact at speed and scale," said Bryce Pippert, executive vice president at Booz Allen. "PDW's U.S.-made drone systems are a great fit for our portfolio and our Defense Tech teams who are advancing the next generation of autonomous capabilities."
This strategic investment builds on Booz Allen's high impact partnerships ecosystem to include Shield AI and Amazon Web Services, in addition to investments by Booz Allen Ventures into autonomy-focused startups like Firestorm, Scout AI, and Ulysses. These efforts reinforce a deliberate focus on scaling mission-ready technologies for today's most critical missions. Together, these investments strengthen Booz Allen's ability to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions that accelerate operational outcomes and address the most complex challenges facing U.S. government customers.
