Construction Projects Represent Innovative and Quality Construction by Missouri’s Contractors
Innovation, resourcefulness and distinction are just a few ways to describe the contractors executing the construction projects selected as finalists for the 2019 Construction Keystone Awards. Finalists include a range of projects including health care, educational facilities, living facilities, industrial facilities, energy plants as well as commuter rail stations and systems. The Construction Keystone Awards are presented by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Missouri. The submissions span 10 categories and characterize the professionalism, craftsmanship, innovation and quality of Missouri’s general and specialty contractors. A panel of expert judges selected these elite projects as finalists last month, and later this summer will continue their review of additional data provided by the finalists in order to determine the winning project in each category.
The Construction Keystone Awards honor the highest achievements of Missouri’s construction firms and salute their contributions to the built environment. The facilities and infrastructure built by member contractors create new jobs, support economic growth and enhance the quality of life. Missouri’s construction workforce is comprised of nearly 120,000 persons, according to most recent data released by the AGC of America.
Winners of the 2019 Keystone Awards will be announced and celebrated at the AGC’s Construction Awards Gala scheduled for Monday, Nov. 4 at the River City Casino & Hotel in St. Louis.
“Each year, as innovation and technology continue to transform the construction industry, the judging of submissions and selection of finalists becomes more demanding. The challenges presented to our contractors and their ability to successfully meet them is the essence of the Keystone Awards,” says Len Toenjes, AGCMO President. “The ingenuity and craftsmanship represented by this year’s finalists continue to exemplify the spirit of the Keystone Awards.”
The Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Missouri is the united voice of the construction industry representing over 500 commercial, industrial, heavy and highway contractors, industry partners and related firms in 110 counties in Missouri. AGC of Missouri operates offices in Jefferson City and St. Louis. Visit: www.agcmo.org
