Many groups were involved in these projects along with OMS.  Thank you to Michael J. Turner, North Vermillion Community School Corporation, Superintendent along with the North Vermillion Board of School Trustees, and the North Vermillion Administration.  OMS would also like to thank General Contractor CDI, Inc. of Terre Haute for handling the Summer 2012 Jr-Sr HS and Summer 2013 Elementary projects, General Contractor Garmong, Inc. of Terre Haute for handling all the Summer 2013 Jr-Sr HS and Campus site work.

At OMS our first priority is to meet our clients’ needs.  In this case, we believe we have accomplished this goal based on the following compliment from Superintendent Turner, “I am very proud of the work that has been done and very pleased to have had OMS handling the designs and overseeing the projects for us.”
