Our verification notes

The Ohio Creek scope description comes primarily from VHB's own news page; the Virginia housing agency and City of Norfolk pages confirm the project but describe the consultant team less granularly. The honest phrasing is that VHB was part of the project team rather than reciting their own scope as fact. Arcadis and others were also on that team.
