When Four Star Freightliner selected Gadsden County as the location for its new training facility, we worked with them and the county on site selection across the area. In order to choose the best location, we conducted feasibility studies on numerous sites and considered access to main roadways, utility connections, and existing infrastructure.

in grant funding

A major component of this project was the application for the Rural Infrastructure Fund grant, which we completed on behalf of our client, the Gadsden County Board of County Commissioners, acting through its economic development arm, the Gadsden County Development Council (GCDC). With this funding, we were able to work closely with the county and Four Star Freightliner, creating a public-private-partnership (P3), which benefited all parties involved. With the entirety of the project being funded through the grant, the county gained nearly 2,000 feet of roadway and Four Star Freightliner was granted access to an ideal site. In addition to completing the grant application, we provided site/civil engineering services, including water and sewer utility design, and electrical and roadway engineering and planning.
