Greetings from Olsson Associates
We're shaking off our winter doldrums and are encouraged by the knowledge that spring will soon arrive! With that, we've got some great and informative news to share with you this month.
Attracting large industries to their communities is the desire of many economic developers across the country. However, numerous factors must be assessed and planned for in order to make a community a serious contender for an industrial developer. In the article below, which was also featured in Site Selection magazine, we outline the factors that can help your community succeed in attracting those large industries.
Olsson is on the move, literally speaking, as Olsson's Lincoln office will soon have a new home in the West Haymarket redevelopment area. Read on for more information.
Finally, we're pleased to report that Olsson was honored for several projects at this year's American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC)/Nebraska's awards banquet. You can read more about these awards below. As always, I welcome your questions or feedback. Please don't hesitate to contact me. |
