Binghamton, NY – September 13, 2023 - McFarland Johnson (MJ), a 100% employee-owned planning, engineering, technology, and construction services firm, is pleased to announce the opening of our new larger office in Hollywood, Florida.
The larger facilities were required to meet McFarland Johnson’s growing staff and long-term client needs serving the firm’s clients throughout South Florida and the Southeast U.S. with planning, engineering, and environmental services. McFarland Johnson opened their first office in Florida in 2016. Since then, the firm continues to expand their services and capabilities and hiring professionals in multiple disciplines with industry experience, requiring the recent move to larger office space as well as creating branch offices throughout Florida and the Southeast region. McFarland Johnson has been a fast-growing, award-winning firm over the past few years, and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the dedication of its employee-owners to service excellence.
“It wasn’t that long ago that we opened our first office in Florida with only two people,” said John Mafera, Vice President and Regional Director of Aviation. “Celebrating this move into larger first-class space here in Hollywood is not only an opportunity to show our appreciation to the firm’s employee owners, but it is a testament to the importance of creating and building long-term relationships within our community and our commitment to serving our clients in South Florida and throughout the Southeast region.”
“The need for experienced aviation and transportation firms with multi-disciplined capabilities is growing nationally”, said Chad Nixon, President of McFarland Johnson. “Strategically, we are exceeding our growth plans in the Southeast. As one of our core values, we are always focused on meeting our clients’ needs and providing the additional expertise and capabilities through this larger office allows us to better service clients in the region and nationally.”

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
