The infrastructure firm has celebrated its centennial throughout 2014 and sees continued growth opportunities for 2015.
(PRWEB) December 17, 2014
“For more than a century now, HNTB Corporation has helped create infrastructure that best meets the unique needs of our clients and the communities where we live and work,” said Rob Slimp, CEO. “That commitment has never been stronger.”
Recognizing its 100th birthday last January was just the beginning of a year-long celebration, which has since included a host of community service programs and moving forward on many high-profile infrastructure projects across the United States.
“We are proud of the fact that for 100 years our employees have supported their hometowns through professional, civic and personal contributions,” Slimp said. “And we will continue to do so long into the future.”

Many events have focused on youth education, disaster recovery and hunger relief. Examples include:
