Read MoreHide Full Article
Willdan Group, Inc. (WLDN - Free Report) has won an $11 million energy and infrastructure modernization project from the City of South Lake Tahoe, CA.
This two-year project is aimed at reducing the city’s carbon emissions along with investment plans for its long-term infrastructure, which is expected to benefit the community in the coming years.
