Our team assisted a local municipality with a pilot study, facility plan, and application process to secure grant funding from the State Drinking Water Revolving Fund/Emerging Contaminants Program...to the tune of $2.5 Million!

Ask us how we can assist YOUR community! Grant programs may differ, but we have the resources and expertise to help communities secure necessary infrastructure funding.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is providing $9.4 million in grant funding to help North Dakota communities address contaminants in water. Read more: https://www.kxnet.com/north-dakota-news/epa-grants-9-4-million-drinking-water/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KX_News

Happy International Human Resources Day to our very own Rachel Nannenga!

To the one we refer to as "HR Rachel"

To the one who keeps the office running smoothly behind the scenes
To the one who always knows the answer to every policy question
To the one who makes onboarding feel welcoming and exciting
To the one who finds the piece to every puzzle
To the one who handles the tough conversations with grace
To the one who champions culture, teamwork, and positivity
To the one who wrangles a broad range of benefits
To the one who wears a hundred hats
To the one who celebrates wins big and small
To the one who keeps confidentiality, trust, and integrity at the center of it all
To the one who helps people grow both personally and professionally
To the one who makes work a better place for everyone — Happy HR Day!

Last week was a bit brisk, but that didn't stop our team and construction crews from beginning the concrete pours on ND Highway 52 box culverts. This portion of the project is located north of Bowbells, ND and is part of the NDDOT drainage structure extensions in preparation for the passing lane additions.

Speed limits are reduced to 45mph and include a 14-foot width restriction during culvert work. Flaggers, pilot cars, and one-lane travel will be used to help guide traffic as needed. Construction will continue throughout the summer.

Please exercise caution when traveling through work zones and remember to SLOW DOWN. :-) For more information about construction projects and road conditions throughout North Dakota, call 511 or visit the ND Roads map at https://travel.dot.nd.gov/
