Being involved and staying informed is an important part of serving our communities well.

We’re proud to be part of conversations that help shape the future of our communities.

We had a great time participating in the Henry County Middle School Career Conferences!

Chris Mills, AJ Maxwell, Mason Smith, Caleb Orr, and Kallie Veazey spent two days at Lakewood Middle School and Harrelson Middle School talking with students about careers in surveying, engineering, marketing, and business.

We enjoyed sharing what we do, answering questions, and helping students see the wide range of opportunities available right here in their community. It is never too early to start thinking about the future, and we are always excited to encourage the next generation of professionals.

Thank you to Henry County School System for giving us the opportunity to be a part of these events!

Our Project Administrators, Angela and Terri, attended the ribbon cutting for the new Play Yard in Honor of Mrs. Shirley Newman at the Paris-Henry County Animal Shelter. We're proud to show support for a local organization making a difference. We are grateful for the people and partnerships that help strengthen our community, both on and off the job site.
