Putting Atlantic in a position to win this prestigious contract has been a constant goal over the past several years, said Brian Mayfield, President and COO of Atlantic. We have made many strategic decisions to design our company to be a great partner to the USGS and are very excited to have the opportunity to support the USGS in providing professional surveying and mapping services nationwide.
