Giving back to the communities it serves is a core part of how Hensel Phelps operates across the U.S. In Casa Grande, Arizona, the Kortsen West Area Regional Lift Station project team brought that commitment to life through a hands-on outreach effort benefiting the City of Casa Grande Animal Care and Adoption Center.
Giving Back to the Casa Grande Community
Partnering with the City of Casa Grande Animal Care and Adoption Center, the team completed targeted facility improvements designed to enhance outdoor spaces for dogs. Donating their time, labor and materials, the Hensel Phelps team installed new concrete pads for two outdoor kennels—creating a more durable, sanitary and comfortable environment for the animals.
These improvements build on recent upgrades made possible through community partners, including the addition of shade structures that provide critical protection from the Arizona climate. Together, these enhancements create a more functional and welcoming space for animals awaiting adoption, while supporting shelter staff in their day-to-day operations.
Building Community Impact Through Water Infrastructure Projects
This outreach effort was led by the Kortsen West Area Regional Lift Station project team, a critical infrastructure project that supports the City of Casa Grande’s growing wastewater system capacity and long-term resiliency.
While delivering essential water infrastructure, the team remains committed to creating meaningful impact beyond the project boundaries. By leveraging their construction expertise and resources, the team helped improve a local facility that plays an important role in the community, reinforcing Hensel Phelps’ broader commitment to service, stewardship and community partnership.
Casa Grande Celebrates Animal Shelter Improvements
The project was recognized during a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by City of Casa Grande leadership, including the mayor and city manager, as well as local officials, representatives from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and community members.
The event also marked the unveiling of a new mural featuring the message, “From Shelter to Forever,” reinforcing the shelter’s mission of connecting animals with permanent homes.
