First Market Bank retained Welford Engineering to assist them with selecting a new branch location in downtown Fredericksburg.  The bank chose to purchase an existing small office building on a site at the corners of Kenmore Avenue, Hanover Street and Jackson Street.  Welford Engineering developed a site plan that enabled the building to be converted from office space to a branch bank office with two drive-up windows.  The site design as developed met all current City design requirements including off-street parking and landscaping in spite of being an urban redevelopment site.  Our team assisted with obtaining the required City Special Use Permit, as well as final design and site plan approvals.  The branch opened in 2008.
