I had an amazing experience with this firm as far as the professional handling of my business needs. I would highly recommend them if you had a Landscape Project to complete for a Municipality, City, Township or County.

You could not find a better group to work with than F&V! Their staff members are not only skilled in their field, but they are quality human beings. They are great at helping small communities find ways to fund projects and are easy to work with. I am proud of the many projects I have done with them in multiple communities!

What We Do

We partner with municipalities on the planning and design of core and water-based infrastructure. Our services support both large and small communities with the design and construction engineering of:

  • Water collection systems
  • Water treatment systems
  • Water distribution systems 

Funding Strategy & Grant Support

F&V works with municipalities to make sure funding is in place before a shovel hits the ground. We’ve helped dozens of communities secure state and federal grants, including:

  • Drinking Water (DW) and Clean Water (CW) State Revolving Funds (SRF)
  • USDA Rural Development (RD)
  • Stormwater, Asset Management, and Wastewater (SAW) Program
  • US Economic Development Administration (EDA)
  • Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
  • SPARK Grants and other state programs

Our team assists with writing, budgeting, and matching fund documentation, backed by real experience navigating municipal grant cycles.
