Company History
FDA was founded in Tampa in 1985 by Nancy Faller Brown, PE, initially focusing on traffic design, studies, drainage systems, and civil site development. FDA offers deep regional expertise spanning complex highway, drainage, and traffic engineering; environmental permitting and compliance; wildlife surveys; construction and maintenance management; traffic operations; safety studies; and signal retiming.
Looking Ahead as PRIME AE
By incorporating FDA’s comprehensive service offerings—including highway widening and signalization, environmental permitting, and operational improvements—PRIME AE advances its strategy of establishing regional hubs of excellence that support every phase of the project lifecycle. In Florida, this means increased capacity and an expanded resource base for state and municipal agency clients, continued responsiveness to local needs, and enhanced collaboration across the Gulf Coast and I-4 corridor.
- This acquisition marks PRIME AE’s third in Florida over the past three years and the firm’s seventh acquisition overall within the last five years, reflecting our ongoing commitment to growth and innovation.
