Knoxville, TN, February 28, 2018 --(PR.com)-- W.K. Dickson & Co., Inc., a leading community
infrastructure consulting firm, announced today the opening of a new regional office in Knoxville,
Tennessee. This new location will allow WK Dickson to better serve existing and future clients while
maintaining the firm's primary mission of providing client-centered solutions. The office is led by Ryan

“Our Knoxville location represents a natural outgrowth of the strong client and partner base we already
have in nearby communities,” said David Peeler, President and CEO. “Under the leadership of Ryan
Blake, WK Dickson is well positioned to increase our impact in the region by supporting our clients'
capital improvement plans and helping them obtain the funding they need to expand their infrastructure.”

The Knoxville regional office team will primarily provide planning, design, and engineering consulting
services for water, wastewater, and stormwater projects. Future expansion plans include the addition of
airport, land development, energy, and GIS consulting services for the region.

“Growth in Tennessee has been very consistent, with many communities outpacing their water and
wastewater capacity,” said Ryan Blake. “I have been very impressed with WK Dickson's ability to
mobilize resources in just about every facet of infrastructure. Their one-firm mentality is on full display.
I'm excited about the growth opportunities with such a great firm.”

Tennessee, Ryan specializes in management for water and wastewater rehabilitation projects as well as
pipelines and pump stations. Joining Ryan are Rick Kirby and David Reece, PE. Rick is a senior
consultant with decades of experience in the utility market and has helped improve critical infrastructure
