The Village of Palmer, Nebraska, is a nook of a town located approximately 30 miles north of Grand Island. Palmer began as a railroad town in the late 1800s, and today, nearly 500 people call it home. 

Although modest in size, Palmer's design improvements showcase its vibrancy and dedication to its growth. In the video shown here, Olsson Senior Engineer Dave Ziska describes the improvements Palmer is undertaking and how Olsson is helping Palmer and other small municipalities to grow their towns in big ways.

The Sonoqui Wash in Phoenix's Southeast Valley once gave eye-opening interpretation to "when it rains, it pours."

With perennial flooding threatening hundreds of homes and costing the taxpayers millions of dollars in damages, the Flood Control District of Maricopa County needed to find a solution to contain the destructive floodwaters that came with the heavy downpours from desert mountain watersheds that could not be contained by the flat, desert washes of the alluvial landscape. 

Olsson has been involved with the design of the current phase, Phase III, which is currently under construction and can be viewed here. Video is courtesy of Blucor Contracting, which is the prime contractor.
