Happy Fourth of July! This holiday is especially noteworthy this year as we mark the 250th birthday of the United States. Our nation’s founders could never have imagined the growth, infrastructure transformations, and evolving natural landscapes our country would see over two-and-a-half centuries. This milestone is especially poignant for F&R, as we will proudly celebrate 145 years as part of the American story this fall. We understand what it takes to build things that endure. This Independence Day, we honor the history that shaped us and renew our mission to protect people and property while supporting the sustainable futures of the communities we serve. Have a safe, happy, and meaningful Fourth of July!

We always love the opportunity to support CBF efforts when we can.
