FORT WORTH, TX — Kimberly Cornett, PE, CFM, F.ASCE, and Kedrick Wright join planning, engineering, and program management firm Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN) as the Regional Stormwater Manager and Program Manager, respectively.
Kimberly Cornett
Based in the Fort Worth office, Cornett will be managing stormwater initiatives to improve drainage and flood control. A Certified Floodplain Manager, Cornett will also be providing solutions to lessen soil erosion and strengthen floodplain management on projects across Texas. With extensive experience in managing stormwater projects, Cornett will support infrastructure project pursuits for LAN.

“Kimberly’s considerable knowledge and vast stormwater experience, especially in North Texas, is adding depth to our strong municipal team," said Matt Manges, LAN Vice President and Practice Leader for Stormwater. "We’re expanding our practice statewide, and she is an integral part of that.”

“Kimberly will be involved in our projects at all levels — from initial planning and feasibility studies to managing the engineering and construction," Manges added. "She’s part of the team that’s managing stormwater and reducing flood risk in the communities we serve.”

A member of the Texas Floodplain Management Association, Cornett has a master’s degree in civil engineering with a concentration in water resources from the University of Texas at San Antonio. A Professional Engineer, Cornett is licensed in Texas and New York.

A member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Cornett is the President-Elect of the ASCE Texas Section for the 2022-2023 term. She was previously honored by ASCE with the Professional Service Award.

Wright will support LAN’s program management business, including the building improvements to campuses within the Alamo Colleges District located in San Antonio, Texas. Wright will be responsible for managing a range of project types including new construction and renovations to improve the learning environments for LAN’s educational clients. His work will include program development, project planning, procurement, construction administration, closeout, and operational handover.

“Kedrick’s experience with managing and overseeing large-scale billion and multimillion bond programs adds a great benefit to the clients LAN serves," said JP Grom, LAN Vice President and Program Management Business Group Director. "His expertise in implementing long-term and short-term strategies will increase efficiency and effectiveness for our teams.”

Wright joins LAN with nearly 20 years of architectural, construction, and program management experience. Most recently, he was the San Antonio Independent School District Deputy Chief Operations Officer where he led bond planning and construction, capital improvements, and facilities development.
