Airport renovation receives statewide award
The Greater Rochester International Airport terminal entrance canopy project has earned a nod from the New York State Chapter of the American Public Works Association.
The Project of the Year Award recognized the “Gateway to Monroe County” project and the County of Monroe for its management of the recently completed $79 million airport renovation project.
“This renovation transformed the airport into a next-generation travel hub, enhancing our efforts to attract more jobs and investment to our community,” said Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo in a statement. “I’m proud to have worked with our construction partners and trades unions to complete this project on-time and on-target. This award is a testament to incredible efforts of so many professionals who helped build our new airport, and it is my honor to accept it on their behalf.”
Monroe County and airport officials worked closely with chief engineering firms Passero Associates and CHA, construction manager LeChase Construction Services and more than 60 subcontractors and local unions, officials said.
The Project of the Year Award is given in recognition of “excellent collaboration by all participating organizations and the successful completion of a project.” The airport renovation project received the same award from the Genesee Valley Branch of the APWA in February.
