“The addition of Entran will augment Stantec’s transportation practice in the U.S. Southeast and Midwest and expands our aviation services into new markets,” said Stantec’s East Coast senior vice president Scott Murray in a release.

Entran is based in Lexington, Ky., but also has offices in Chicago, Ill., Cincinnati, Ohio, Charleston, W. Va., and Nashville, Tenn.
