April 2013

It is with great shock and sadness that we must report the passing of Clark Associate Peter Liukkonen on Sunday, April 14, 2013.

Peter has been with Clark since 2005 and has been a strong technical resource for many clients on a wide variety of projects.

All of us at Clark will miss Peter's friendship, professionalism and his wonderful sense of humor.

Clark Celebrates 75th Anniversary

In 2013, Clark is celebrating its 75th year in business. This special achievement is being celebrated in many ways around all of Clark's offices throughout 2013.

An open house event was held on April 4, 2013 at the Golden Valley Country Club for many of Clark's Twin Cities employees (current and past), clients, and vendors. It was an opportunity to celebrate with all of those who have contributed to the continued success of Clark. $75 gift cards (in honor of our 75 years of service) and an iPad were given out as door prizes to those in attendance.

Clark was established by Kenneth M. Clark in 1938 and has weathered many changes in the engineering and surveying professions since its inception. Our 75th anniversary is a testament to the strength of our past experience and our inspiration to keep moving forward into the future by molding technological change into value for our clients.

A 30 foot long timeline of Clark's 75 years was on display depicting some critical events over Clark's history. Some of the items listed included critical hires and significant projects overlaid by historical events of the world. Several recent awards and one of our laser scanners were on display, along with some historical engineering and drafting artifacts.

Other open houses are being planned for some of our other offices, as well as some more intimate celebrations with some of the clients we serve.
