Lacombe honoured for Main Street Program
The City of Lacombe’s Main Street Program was honoured with the American Public Works Association (APWA) Alberta Chapter’s 2018 Project of the Year Award: $5 to $10 Million Category.
The award recognizes excellence in the construction, management, and administration of public works projects in Alberta. It was presented at the APWA’s 2018 Excellence in Public Works Conference and Tradeshow at the Sheraton Hotel in Red Deer.
“We are proud receive this prestigious award from the APWA,” said Lacombe Mayor Grant Creasey. “This project was a true revitalization, which took Lacombe’s downtown from its 19th century roots and readied it for the 21st century, to ensure continued prosperity for the community.”
“The Main Street Project was a unique project with significant historical context, in which the whole spectrum of public works was combined,” said Chief Administrative Officer Matthew Goudy. “Our creativity was tested, many technical challenges were overcome, and strong stakeholder collaboration was key to the success outcome of this project.”
