Knoxville, TN, February 28, 2018 --(PR.com)-- W.K.

This new location will allow WK Dickson to better serve existing and future clients while maintaining the firm’s primary mission of providing client-centered solutions.

The Knoxville regional office team will primarily provide planning, design, and engineering consulting services for water, wastewater, and stormwater projects. Future expansion plans include the addition of airport, land development, energy, and GIS consulting services for the region.

Their one-firm mentality is on full display. I’m excited about the growth opportunities with such a great firm.”
