On behalf of Monroe County’s entire project management team, County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo accepted the “Project of the Year Award” from the Genesee Valley Branch of the New York State Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA). The award recognizes Monroe County’s management of the recently-completed $79 million renovation project at the Greater Rochester International Airport.
“This renovation transformed the Airport into a next-generation travel hub, enhancing our efforts to attract more jobs and investment to our community,” said Dinolfo. “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. ”
To oversee the renovation, Monroe County and Airport Officials worked closely with chief engineering firms Passero Associates and CHA, construction manager LeChase Construction Services, as well as more than 60 subcontractors and local trade unions.
