Project Highlights and Insights
Bridging Gaps and Building Pathways: Connecting Tribal Communities
SRF’s planning and engineering staff is key to our Tribal collaborations. They are committed to ensuring projects provide the local and regional benefits needed to help Tribal communities thrive. It’s hard to find someone who reflects this approach more fully than SRF Project Manager Jamie Wark.
