May 2021 Letter from the Editor
By Katie Swanson, PE, Water Resources Engineer, CDM Smith, BSCES Vice President and BSCESNews Editor
Our May Issue of BSCESNews is focused on State of Infrastructure. In this issue, we have our updates from BSCES President Bruce Jacobs and the Government Affairs & Professional Practice Comiittee Chair AnaCristina Fragoso. Colm Tully and Derval Cummins from AECOM highlight integrated approaches for successful program management. Incoming BSCESNews Chair Mike Sullivan describes The Towers in Narragansett, RI, which seems like a perfect place for a summer day trip!

earliest marine signal stations in the United States and
it is the last known to survive.
