Helping a Local Park Reopen After Historic Flooding
Like many Midwest communities, Wahoo, Nebraska experienced damaging floods five years ago. Its cherished Lake Wanahoo Park had to close unsafe areas. Floods washed away sections of the biking and walking trails, and enjoying the entirety of the park was no longer possible.
Portions of the trail needed extensive repairs before it could be safely reopened to the public. The project would take time, collaboration, and successfully securing federal funds. The city, located about 40 miles west of Omaha, needed a consultant that would be in it for the long haul. They selected Olsson to get the job done. ?
