Reasons Local Governments Come to Us

Some of the most common reasons why municipalities, counties, utility providers, and other public sector agencies choose to work with WithersRavenel include:

  • Infrastructure Needs

    Aging or inadequate civil infrastructure can hamper a community’s growth and prevent it from reaching its true potential. Our team of multidisciplinary project management experts works closely with public sector leadership to address infrastructure projects and provide the foundation for a brighter future.

  • Natural Disasters

    In the wake of a natural disaster, state and local agencies may be caught unprepared for the rebuilding process. But with the expertise of our team on their side, government leaders in recovering municipalities and counties have the guidance and know-how they need to navigate the process and get back on their feet as quickly as possible.

  • Funding Needs

    Financing all the work that goes into building stronger communities can be a challenge. We provide the specialized expertise local governments need to address their critical infrastructure needs while ensuring essential services remain in place and securing their long-term financial sustainability.

  • Environmental Concerns

    Part of responsible stewardship is being careful about a project’s impact on the surrounding environment. We provide environmental assessments that help local government agencies plan out their projects so they are as ecologically responsible as possible. We help local government clients understand environmental constraints, identify opportunities for responsible improvement, and support mindful project delivery. Our experience in navigating complicated and changing environmental regulations makes us the ideal partner for municipalities and local agencies who want to maintain compliance.

Multidisciplinary expertise to support your community’s goals

We bring together engineering, planning, landscape architecture, and construction administration to provide a coordinated and reliable approach to infrastructure and community development. Our work with local governments helps us match your priorities, communicate clearly, and deliver projects with lasting value.

Featured Projects

WithersRavenel completed the design and construction documents for Pleasant Park in 2019, and the Town funded the park’s construction with a bond referendum. Despite construction setbacks due to the global pandemic, associated supply chain shortages, and weather, Pleasant Park opened its doors to the general public with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 4, 2023. During the first official weekend, more than 10,000 cars passed through the gates to experience this new destination in the Town of Apex.

WithersRavenel and T. A. Loving are collaborating with the Wayne County Development Alliance and the City of Goldsboro on a design-build (DB) project, “Project Butter.” Project Butter aims to provide major sewer system improvements, which will drastically reduce infiltration and inflow. It will also aid in bringing more than 160 new jobs to the City of Goldsboro. State funding is helping to finance the infrastructure improvements which, in addition to facilitating economic development, will also provide sewer improvements for Goldsboro residents, businesses, and medical facilities.

What Our Clients Are Saying

The Hawkins Avenue Water Transmission Main project presented several design challenges. During design we became aware of a DOT project that would take place along our alignment. By piggybacking on the DOT project the City stood to save hundreds of thousands of dollars as a directional bore outside of the right of way would have been required if we missed the window. WithersRavenel was able to re-design the water line in the time required which saved the City a considerable sum of money and decommissioned a section of AC line in the process. We look forward to continuing to work with WithersRavenel well into the future.
