Big RAISE grants for our clients in Lake Wales and Siloam Springs

Siloam Springs and Lake Wales each received significant RAISE grants from the federal Department of Transportation.

Good planning brings return on investment in a number of ways. But one of them is this: Having a coherent plan can move your infrastructure project to the front of the line for funding. This month, the federal Department of Transportation awarded nearly two billion dollars for several projects through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) discretionary grant program to invest in improving and repairing critical transportation infrastructure and increasing levels of private sector investment.

"Connect the Dots" virtual lecture draws huge audience

On May 4, 2020, Victor Dover delivered a “virtual lecture” for the Civic Conversations series, hosted by the Pensacola News-Journal and the Studer Community Institute. Quint Studer introduced Victor as “the Michael Jordan of urban planning” at the start of this extraordinary event, streamed live for an estimated 6000 viewers.
