Bolton & Menk, Inc.
In 1949, two hard-working Midwesterners – John Bolton and Martin Menk – saw people in their surrounding communities with dreams of a bright future, a desire to grow, and a common challenge of aging infrastructure. Their goal: to help communities make progress by listening to what people want, finding the best solutions for their needs, and treating them right. The legacy of John and Martin lives on. We still want to help, we work hard every day, and we always remember what got us here – we’re people helping people.
