The desire to restore the Kissimmee River in Florida to its natural condition prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to seek the help of Stanley Consultants. The design firm responded with field investigations, economic evaluations, detailed design, plans and specifications, and cost estimates for a multi-contract effort. The successful result was prestigiously recognized with a 2002 Project of the Year award.
