2020’S TOP PROJECTS finally RECOGNIZED COVER STORY | MARCH 2021 By: Macie Morgan, Membership & Communications Coordinator
In true 2020 fashion, we were unable to recognize the 2020 Excellence in Construction Award Winners in December of 2020, like usual, but were thrilled to recognize these incredible projects and companies on March 18, 2021. Of the 32 projects that were submitted last year, 25 were awarded Excellence and Merit awards. Thirteen projects from eight different companies received an Excellence award and 12 projects from 10 different companies received a Merit award. The night started with cocktail hour provided by pelican member, Catering Cajun, where the attendees were able to browse the project posters and mingle with fellow award winners.
