This transaction expands our presence in Oklahoma by providing us with experienced crews and strategically located facilities from which to serve the Tulsa and Oklahoma City markets, the two fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the state. We are especially pleased that Nathan Ellsworth will continue to lead the business in these markets going forward. His deep knowledge of these markets, longstanding customer relationships and reputation for operational excellence will be invaluable as we continue to build upon Overland’s success in Oklahoma. In addition to Ellsworth’s strong public and private construction business, the company is a leader in the growing data center construction market in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, complementing Overland’s robust existing data center project portfolio in north Texas.
