What I do at O.R. Colan Associates (ORC)
I’m a Project Manager specializing in right-of-way acquisition, real estate, and relocation services for public infrastructure projects. When a city, state agency, airport, or other government entity needs land or property rights for a project, I oversee the process of obtaining them. I manage everything from title research, appraisals, negotiations, and acquisitions to budgets, schedules, contracts, and regulatory compliance. I coordinate with engineers, attorneys, government agencies, property owners, and my project teams to resolve issues and keep projects moving forward. A big part of my job is problem-solving, managing financial responsibilities, and making sure property owners are treated fairly while protecting the client's interests. Essentially, engineers design the projects, contractors build them, and I make sure they have the land and legal rights they need to get the work done.
