Stacy Barna

Stacy Barna has nearly 30 years of compre­hen­sive experience in multiple areas of drinking water, wastewater, and financial assistance programs. Stacy says, “I enjoy the interaction of working with clients and co-workers to bring a project to life and see it through completion.”

She specializes in water system regulatory compliance, capital improvement and master planning, project financing, asset management, and sustain­abil­ity initiatives. Stacy also has experience inter­pret­ing and imple­ment­ing a variety of federal and state regulations, laws, rules, programs, and polices.

Prior to joining CDM Smith, Stacy worked with two different states to administer their Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund programs and has worked closely with U.S. EPA for much of her career. Her experience transitioned well at CDM Smith, where she has been able to assist water and wastewater systems to understand differing federal and state funding program offerings, requirements and execute the best financing packages for their projects. Since fall 2021, Stacy has been in high demand with the new and additional funding streams from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. 

“There are so many reasons I came to work at CDM Smith. I like that CDM Smith is a privately held firm, where there are many opportunities for personal growth and career advancement. We have some of the best and brightest in the industry; it speaks volumes for how fantastic of a place CDM Smith is to work when many of my co-workers have been with the company for 20 or more years, and yet I also find the company very welcoming to younger and mid-level staff.”
