Owner, Caroline Evans: "I enjoy planning because I have a vision of a community where people have safe, varied, and affordable housing choices; are friends with their neighbors; have access to public transit; and their children thrive in their school environments. Their neighborhood includes plenty of parks, open space, bike lanes, and trails. The street corridors are landscaped, and the commercial areas are thriving. After 14 years at a large A/E firm working on projects, developing business, and managing teams, I started Blue Cypress. I use the skills and knowledge gained there and apply them to make a difference at the community level." Utility Management Consultant, John Evans: "My career is primarily focused on optimizing water, wastewater, and stormwater operations. Whether it’s strategic planning, asset management, enhancing efficiency, developing and implementing proactive regulatory compliance programs, or providing support during enforcement actions, if it involves problem solving and creativity, that’s what I love to do."
