“DLR Group had a very good 2017,” Johnson says. “We were flush with work in all of our market sectors throughout the year. In Omaha, that is seven different market sectors.

“We did a lot of office, justice and civic buildings out of Omaha in 2017,” Johnson adds. “Our justice practice really has a strong presence in our Omaha office. We are currently working on projects for the states of Kansas, Nebraska and Ohio through our expertise here in Omaha. Some are replacements and some are modernizations.”
