Hawthorne, N.J. — DFI has named the Irishtown Bend Slope Stabilization Project in Cleveland, Ohio, as the recipient of the 2026 Outstanding Project Award (OPA). The award-winning project was submitted by Richard Goettle and is being recognized during DFI’s  51st Annual Conference , November 2–5, in Orlando, Florida.
