Solving Complex Problems Across the Country 600 White Oaks Blvd. Bridgeport, WV 26330 (304) 624-4108 www.thethrashergroup.com North Central West Virginia has been prospering for years, and Harrison County is no exception. An influx of people, businesses and opportunities has created a unique environment in the state, and The Thrasher Group is proud to play its role in that ecosystem. While Thrasher’s day-to-day work comes in the form of engineering, architecture and environmental and field services, it’s true passion comes from economic development. Thrasher is resolved to create a larger impact through every project. Whether it is renovations on an elementary school or surveying for endangered species, there is a ripple effect that improves the wellbeing of communities and helps them thrive. And when communities thrive, people want to be a part of them. Wanting to live somewhere, though, isn’t enough to make it happen. There must be unique, exciting jobs at every level that allow people to lay down roots, and Thrasher strives to create that opportunity. Part of that opportunity means the ability to improve your community. The company has completed countless projects in West Virginia, with many here in Harrison County. For example, Thrasher is currently working at the North Central West Virginia Airport on a new terminal and logistics park. It also partners with the Greater Harrison Public Service District, the City of Clarksburg and the City of Bridgeport to ensure reliable water and wastewater treatment systems are in place for residents. Growing a community also means reaching beyond its borders. Thrasher has scaled its business over the last 36 years with offices across the Mid-Atlantic region and projects across the country. In fact, Thrasher’s oil and gas experts have worked in New Mexico, where utility engineers provided hydraulic modeling for a waterline. Meanwhile, Thrasher site engineers are providing property acquisition services in Nashville, and the company’s architects are working on an eight-building apartment renovation in Louisiana. Thrasher employees are solving complex infrastructure and development projects from coast to coast while living in West Virginia. Whether down the road or across the country, every project Thrasher works on is another way to support West Virginia. It may come through improvements on a local bridge or the opportunity to work on a riverfront development in Pittsburgh. Either way, The Thrasher Group tackles big challenges that let Harrison County residents live where they want to live and work on exciting projects all over. And that’s not going to change—The Thrasher Group will support this community for the long haul. SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
