CG/LA Infrastructure Inc. announced they will honor the innovators behind this year’s most transformative global infrastructure initiatives at the Project of the Year Awards Ceremony during the 7th Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum on Feb. 27 in New York City.
“Our mission at CG/LA is to support the visionary infrastructure leaders that will create jobs, grow economies, and transform a country’s global competitiveness for the next 30 to 40 years,” said CG/LA Infrastructure President and CEO Norman F. Anderson. “We want to recognize the people behind the projects, whose work is often anonymous, who are imagining, designing, operating, and building the infrastructure that creates an opportunity for all of us to thrive in a dynamic, more prosperous world.”
The awards are given in five categories: strategic, finance, engineering, job creation, and green/new infrastructure. These projects offer business opportunities in the next three to twelve months and are confirmed to present at the 7th Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum.
“CG/LA’s Project of the Year awards identify the exemplary infrastructure projects that set new standards for the industry. Aconex is proud to partner with organizations like these, helping them to manage risk and improve quality, as they deliver complex projects successfully,” said Leigh Jasper, CEO at Aconex, sponsor of the 2014 Global Project of the Year awards.
