This month’s Colorado & Wyoming section of Mountain States Construction magazine highlights several Colorado construction industry association awards. The awards criteria and their scope differ with each association, but the winners represent many of the best projects completed in 2008 and throughout 2009.
Other industry awards programs have previously been covered in Colorado Construction and The Daily Journal or will be covered in more detail in upcoming issues of Mountain States Construction and other publications such as AGC ONSite and Engineering Colorado.
The editors of Mountain States Construction and The Daily Journal also selected a handful of key stories, projects and people that dominated Colorado and Wyoming construction industry news in 2009.
