USI Consultants, Inc.

USI President Michael Obergfell, Southern IN Business Development Representative Tara Damin, and designers Peter Carleton and Joshua Frerichs gathered with over 100 community members and leaders to celebrate the official groundbreaking of the Monon South Trail Phase 1, hosted by the Town of Borden. Cory Daly, USI's Project Manager, led efforts for more than 6 miles of trail through the Towns of Mitchell and Orleans. We are grateful to have been part of a very collaborative team including: Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Radius Indiana, Clark Dietz, Inc., Taylor Siefker Williams Design Group, Lochmueller Group, Banning Engineering, SESCO Group, MAC Construction, as well as many cities, towns, counties, and nonprofits. “I cannot believe construction of the Monon Trail is about to begin! What started as our conversation with the Town of Orleans to working alongside Radius and Ryan Hughes on the initial DNR Next Level Trails grant, I am blessed to have been a part of this great team and this important project for southern Indiana,” said Damin. Construction of Phase 1 is on track to be completed in the Spring of 2025. For more updates on the construction timeline and to share in our excitement, we invite you to join the Monon South Trail Community Update Meeting in Mitchell, IN on July 24th!

Despite a shortened round due to rain, ACEC Indiana’s Annual Scholarship Golf Outing was a success! The event brought friendly competition, great conversations, and a spirit of camaraderie, all while raising funds to support Indiana college students pursuing engineering degrees... and keeping our talented engineers in Indiana! A special thank you to USI’s guests – Hendricks County Commissioner Phyllis Palmer and USI’s scholarship recipient Justin Schwartz. We are thankful to everyone who participated and contributed. Your support helps shape the future of engineering in Indiana!

USI came together for #WearYellowDay to raise awareness for Sarcoma! 🎗 With one of our own battling this rare form of cancer, we organized a fun event to raise funds for the Sarcoma Foundation of America, Inc. The day started with a 5k run/walk around our office, followed by a picnic and raffle that included the chance to "pie" an owner in the face! Huge thanks to everyone for their participation and support of this awesome cause. 💛 #SarcomaAwarenessMonth #StrongerTogether #SarcomaFoundationofAmerica
