This year marks the 15th for ENR Southeast's Best Projects awards competition, which recognizes construction and design excellence in the Southeast region. Once again, our judges have spoken, and given us another impressive lineup of projects.
ENR Southeast received 88 entries this year, with projects located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Of those 88, our Best Projects judges chose 39 entries for recognition.
The 2015 award-winning projects will be highlighted in ENR Southeast's Nov. 9 print edition. Then, on Nov. 10, ENR Southeast will celebrate with its 15th annual Best Projects awards event, to be held at the Renaissance Orlando at Sea World.
Congratulations to this year's winners!
