The Urban Terrain Story Amy Hopkins Owner

The Urban Terrain Story

The Urban Terrain story began long before the company was founded. After many years in the United States Marine Corps, Urban Terrain’s owner, Amy Hopkins, began working as a land surveyor.  After 20 years with a local Pittsburgh surveying company, Amy’s entrepreneurial spirit and expert knowledge in the surveying field inspired her to launch Urban Terrain in January 2017. The company name is a nod to Amy’s time in the Marine Corps; it is a military term that refers to urban environments or areas that are built up and include buildings, roads, highways, railways, subways, etc. Years ago, Amy trod urban terrain as a Marine; today, she keeps that spirit alive as she treads the urban terrain of Pennsylvania and New York.

Owner- Amy Hopkins, PLS

She has extensive experience working with large commercial developers as well as industrial and residential clients, most recently working with several energy corporations to provide permitting and surveying services.

Mindfulness of the best interests of surface and mineral rights owners is a priority for Amy.
