A Princeton native has been named 2020 Military Engineer of the Year.
Naval Facilities Engineering Command Mid-Atlantic announced Lt. Tyler Williams as its selection for the 2020 Military Engineer of the Year award.
Lt. Williams is the assistant public works officer at Public Works Department Crane, Indiana, according to a news release.
Officials say Lt. Williams, whose parents, Fred and Julie Williams reside in Princeton, spearheaded a unique and critical $85 million research, development, test, and evaluation project serving a critical Department of Defense program with a compressed military construction timeline.
He was selected as the project field lead to coordinate and lead local engineers, technicians, and planners to keep early development critical path items on track including environmental regulations, geotechnical engineering, and local and state laws.
