Ann Arbor, Michigan – CIS, the nation’s leading resilient infrastructure builder, has announced the opening of a new regional office, located in Sacramento, California. CIS’s new office demonstrates the company’s commitment to expanding investments and community-based partnerships throughout California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
CIS is focused on improving environmental, economic, and social conditions of our nation’s infrastructure through solutions that drive local economic inclusion and equity, reducing public risk and increasing community investment. Across the U.S., CIS is leading innovative projects with lasting, positive impacts on our cities and communities.
Upgrading water infrastructure across California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington is crucial to ensure resilience against the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, such as droughts, wildfires, and floods. Aging pipelines and treatment facilities are prone to leaks and inefficiencies, threatening water quality and availability. Modernizing these systems will help manage and conserve water resources more effectively, addressing both population growth and climate change challenges. Enhanced infrastructure is also vital for safeguarding public health and supporting economic stability in these regions.
Through its nationally proven project delivery platform, CIS invests capital upfront in the development of community-based infrastructure while also committing to local business capacity development and utilization to implement at scale with lower costs. Through its proven approach to invest and develop a local project delivery model with a greater reliance on local business knowledge and expertise, CIS can better assess and implement efficiencies in infrastructure placement, design, and financing, while also incorporating the public’s environmental and socio-economic objectives to directly engage and facilitate profitable growth of women- and/or minority owned, area businesses.
“As leaders in community-based infrastructure and urban greening, we’re proud to help the region become more climate-resilient and support the local economy by working with local disadvantaged businesses. We’ve worked with the Los Angels Bureau of Sanitation and the Los Angeles Flood Control District. We’re excited to keep investing in local infrastructure and hiring local staff to maintain this positive momentum,” said Sanjiv K. Sinha, Ph.D., CEO of CIS.
“Our Sacramento office is led by Kevin Reilly, who previously held a senior leadership position with the largest ecological restoration operating company in the US, expanding their footprint and projects on the West Coast,” said Sinha. “As our presence grows across the West, we will be adding additional staff to serve our clients and build vital community relationships.”
“CIS has a unique model – the ability to be a catalyst for equitable climate resilience by investing in communities with thought leadership, relationships and capital. The proof is in the existing portfolio of projects and programs,” said Kevin Reilly, Market Director – Western Region for CIS. “I am excited to lead the Western Region and look forward to expanding our footprint across California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.”
The company’s Sacramento location is 101 Parkshore Drive, Folsom, CA, 95630.
