Cary’s new Metra station recently was named one of the Projects of the Year by the American Public Works Association’s Fox Valley Branch. Also given this award was the removal of biological phosphorus and the ultraviolet disinfection system at the village’s wastewater treatment plant. According to the APWA’s website, the Project of the Year award was created to “promote excellence in the management and administration of public works projects” by recognizing the alliance between the managing agency, the consultant/architect/engineer, and the contractor who, working together, complete public works projects. These awards are given in four divisions: projects less than $5 million; projects more than $5 million, but less than $25 million; projects between $25 million and $75 million; and projects more than $75 million.
