The largest park in the city of Royal Oak, Normandy Oaks, is now officially open to the public. The parks and recreation project, led by the Nowak & Fraus Engineers (NFE) Design Team, helped bring more green space to the community. NFE transformed the former Normandy Oaks Golf Course, located off Delemere Boulevard between Nakota and Normandy, into a 40-acre multi-purpose park.
 

Last year, during the shut-down due to the pandemic, NFE wasn’t able to have a full crew of summer interns. Thank goodness this year is different. In the month of May, we welcomed ten interns who are joining us for the summer from the universities of Michigan State, Michigan Tech, Lawrence Tech and Wayne State.
 

NFE is proud of the variety of projects we have had the opportunity to work on, and our portfolio continues to grow. See a few of the projects we recently have been award.

The Southern Lakes Parks and Recreation (SLPR) Commission was recently awarded a funding commitment from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust in the amount of $300,000 for the Silver Lake Road Connector Trail project. This non-motorized trail will connect the communities of Linden, Argentine Township, Fenton and Fenton Township in Genesee County.

Friends and clients of the Nowak & Fraus Family, please join us in congratulating our valued employee, Bruce Van Doorn Sr., on his significant accomplishment achieving 50 years of service with the company.

Congratulations to Sterling Heights Parks and Recreation and Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) for each receiving a 2020 Park Design Award from the Michigan Recreation and Park Association (mParks) during their Annual Conference and Trade Show on January 31 in Novi, Michigan.

NFE was selected by Independence Township to provide engineering design and construction administration for a public pathway along Clintonville Road, between Maybee and Waldon roads. This pathway was created to interconnect other pathways within the Township, and the road as it was, was unsafe to walk or bike on due to heavy traffic and wetlands.

Romeo Community Schools’ voters approved an $86 million, 25-year bond initiative for the district back in May 2016. The school system contracted with architect Integrated Design Solutions who in turn contracted with NFE to provide land surveying and civil engineering services to support the bond initiatives.

The Michigan Law Enforcement Memorial Monument was dedicated on Saturday, July 27, 2019, following a 14-year effort in support of its construction.
