Nearly 200 of the region’s top construction professionals attended ENR New England’s Best Regional Project Awards on Dec. 8 at the Hyatt Regency Boston. 

The awards are a series of special events across the country to celebrate and honor project teams that created the "best" regional projects of 2016. The projects are selected by juries of local prominent industry professionals. The winning projects will automatically compete in ENR’s national Best of the Best Projects competition.
