Creative Sustainability Efforts  

2022 Clark County Green Business of the Year award is pictured in the Wallis Engineering office beside the Clark County Green Business Certification plaque. The trophy was hand crafted by local recycled metal artist Don Perry from over 95% recycled materials. The fish was carved from a dull retired lumber mill saw blade, and the base is a salvaged city water meter plate.
