Osceola County, Florida – Osceola County Public Works was recently featured in an article in "Public Works Magazine" for its innovative use of the construction manager-at-risk program for the county's numerous road construction projects.

The article appeared in the national industry magazine that has a print circulation of 65,000 and a web presence that reaches the world.

"This article is really exciting for the County, because it talks a lot about the innovation and the leadership that the county has shown in putting together a road program that is forward thinking," said Osceola County Public Works Principal Project Manager Gregg Hostetler.
