I attribute our success to strong internal project management, a cooperative partnership with Sierra-Cedar, excellent consultants, and a dedicated project team. Without any one of these, the project could have faltered. Sierra-Cedar’s consultants have become like “family,” and they are as committed to our success as we are."
