Arizona and Scottsdale took numerous awards at the recent Golden Nugget Awards

The Golden Nugget Awards, sponsored by PCBC (Pacific Coast Builders Conference) were awarded in San Francisco recently.  Of more than 500 projects, Scottsdale received quite a few.  In fact, in the 44 year history of the award program, Arizona developers and architects had their best year ever.   The Judges’ Award of Excellence was given to the City of Scottsdale for the beautiful public works project – the Chaparral Water Treatment Facility located at the southeast corner of Hayden Rd and McDonald.  You might not have known it was a water treatment plant, but if you are a resident or frequent visitor of Scottsdale, you probably drove by it during it’s lengthy construction.
