“Infrastructure needs continue to grow, but traditional funding streams have become more unstable, leading owners to explore new delivery strategies,” said Jim Ray, HNTB corporate president. “Ed and David bring our clients experienced voices in providing commercial and strategic advice for public owner organizations and helping them advance complex infrastructure projects under public-private partnerships and other alternative delivery models.”
