Inspiring Confidence in Progress: The History of O. R. Colan Associates

Inspiring Confidence in Progress is the history of a family business started by Owen Richard Colan, J.D. in 1969 to provide right of way services for public infrastructure projects. It is also the story of how his daughter was able to continue and grow the business after his passing in 1989. While the book was written to share the history of the company with its employees, it may find an expanded audience in those interested in the history of the Uniform Act and how it protects private property rights when federal funding is involved in a public infrastructure project with the right of eminent domain.
