CVE in the Community: Engagement Beyond Engineering

How CVE strengthens connections with the communities we serve through shared traditions and meaningful moments

At Chagrin Valley Engineering, we believe that supporting the communities we serve goes beyond planning and designing infrastructure improvements. Whether we’re designing roadways, improving water systems, or planning for safer travel, our work is rooted in connection, and we love stepping out from behind the computer to participate in community events. This month, two events gave us the perfect opportunity to do just that.

CVE engineers Mike, Savannah, Julie, and Colin laced up for a run on the trails in support of this Moreland Hills annual event.

Head for the Hills: Hitting the Trail with the Village of Moreland Hills

CVE teammates donned sneakers and race bibs and joined the “Head for the Hills” race, hosted by the Village. This annual run is a local favorite and supports Moreland Hills parks, bringing the entire community together for a morning on the trail. For CVE, events like this are a reminder of why we love what we do! It provides us an opportunity to really be part of the communities we serve. Sharing moments outside of the office helps us build strong and lasting relationships within the communities.

CVE municipal engineers Joe, Joe, Bryan, Savannah, and Aiden celebrate Halloween with local residents.

Trick-or-Treat Trail: Halloween Fun, Pokémon Style with the City of Lyndhurst

Each year, the City hosts its annual Trick-or-Treat Trail, and it has quickly become one of our favorite community traditions. After last year’s Mario Brothers theme, this year, our CVE crew showed up as Pokémon, handing out candy, sharing smiles, and embracing the Halloween spirit with hundreds of families. The City’s team once again put on a fantastic event that brought surrounding communities together, and we were happy to play a part of it!

While these events do not involve surveying or engineering, they provide the opportunity for us to engage in the community, which is a key part of who we are as a company. CVE is proud to give back to the places we help build and grow, and we are grateful to be welcomed not just as professional services providers, but as neighbors and friends!
