ENR Mountain States recently announced the winners of its 2019 Best Projects competition across a seven-state region that includes Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota.
A panel of 12 judges from all areas of the industry — architects, GC’s, green consultants, virtual designers and engineers — selected winners and merit awards from the 156 total entries this year, by far the most in the 19-year history of the awards.
In addition to the awards listed below, we will be presenting safety awards to deserving projects, and one project in each area (Intermountain and Colorado/Wyoming/Dakotas) will win top honors as the Project of the Year. We will announce the Safety Award winners and Best Overall Project finalists at a later date.
Projects will be covered in more detail in the October issue of ENR Mountain States, and the winners will be honored at breakfast awards events during the last week of October.
