feasibility and construction logistics. Michaela and her fiancé enjoy rock

back to the United Way, which makes such a huge impact in the lives of our
friends and neighbors,” said Chuck V. Griffin, President & CEO of

“Last year was a difficult and challenging one for
many, and I’m incredibly proud of our employees, who gave so selflessly to
support others.”
