2023 presented us with a myriad of opportunities and challenges, and we are impressed by the consistent resilience and dedication shown by our team in every situation. Across New England, our team has worked in cities and towns, big and small, on projects that keep communities thriving. As we approach the close of another year, we reflect on the growth of our team, the success of our community partners, and the impact that every project has on communities.
We also extend our gratitude to the experienced professionals who have been our steadfast support throughout this year, enabling us to concentrate on creating a lasting impact in the cities and towns we serve for the benefit of future generations. Our work would not be the same if it weren’t for our community partners. Many projects require a large team with a wide array of skills and knowledge. Frequently this past year, we were able to reunite with community partners on multiple projects, combining our skills to achieve incredible results. We would like to recognize and thank Clifton Larson Allen, BETA, Environmental Partners, EJ Prescott, Green International Affiliates, HR Key Solutions, Kimley-Horn, and Woodard & Curran. 2023 would not have been as successful as it was without these partners, and we look forward to working with them again in a prosperous 2024.
The journey this year across projects and towns has pushed us to new heights across departments and disciplines. Thank you to our team and community partners on the impressive accomplishments they have achieved this year…
