ENR Mountain States is pleased to announce the winners of the 2022 Best Projects competition across a seven-state region that includes Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota.
A panel of 15 judges from all areas of the industry selected winners and merit awards from the 93 total entries this year.
In addition to the awards listed below, we will be presenting safety awards and sustainability 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 special award winners and Best Overall Project of the Year finalists at a later date.
The awards are split into the two areas, as noted above, to correspond with their respective awards events (one in Denver and one in Salt Lake City). They are listed by those areas below.
Winning projects will be covered in more detail in the December issue of ENR Mountain States, and the winners will be honored at awards events for each area during the first week of December.
If you have questions, please call (303-999-6414) or e-mail me (Jennifer Seward, Editor-in-Chief, ENR Mountain States) at sewardj@enr.com.
Congratulations to the winners!
