MSA Today

December 2023

Welcome WINTER.

Winter is nearly upon us (we think) — a time to reflect on the triumphs of the year and get inspired by the possibilities of 2024. This issue of MSA Today features a guide to Wisconsin Stewardship funding, thoughts about the role of people in implementing today’s technology, a “round-is-sound” review of the benefits of compact roundabouts, and how drones are being employed to accurately inventory large quarry and stockpile operations in a fraction of the time of traditional methods.

Soak in the new season, find a moment of mid-holiday “Zen,” and — as always — let us know how we can help.
