Our efforts are targeted to ensuring that projects are accomplished in a timely and effective manner while meeting environmental concerns and regulations.Why it could be important to you:We bridge the gap between project proposals and the needs for action at the local, state, and national levels. We have solid and continuing association with key members of Congressional legislative committees, and environmental staffs at the Corps of Engineers, Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and many state agencies.Should you hire WIA? In the earliest stages of planning a project in coastal water or inland waterways, or targeted to coastal and community resilience, you would almost certainly benefit by bringing in WIA as consulting advisors. We can give you sound, professional, and honest advice before you commit significant resource dollars in planning, design, or construction work, i.e., before making costly decisions involving hiring expensive or time consuming consulting firms. Think of WIA as a trusted, highly reliable agent of the project owner, available as your trusted advisor throughout your coastal, environmental, or waterways project. Who are We? • Jerry Barnes.
