2023 Construction Excellence Awards
ABC held our annual Construction Excellence Awards gala at the historic Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown, New York. More than 200 people attended the all-day event dedicated to helping contractors connect with colleagues and acknowledge the projects built by the merit/open shop construction community.
This year, the Chapter handed out more than 20 awards that covered projects across the state. Those projects totaled more than $2B in construction value, with the smallest project being just under $100,000 and the largest at over $400M. The diversity of the work was also on display as awards were given for projects in the commercial, residential, mixed-use, environmental, and infrastructure categories.

2023 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
ABC was proud to welcome our 6th member of the Chapter's Hall of Hame at the event!
The process for the Hall of Fame is that each year, the six regions across the state will nominate one person for consideration. Those nominations are then reviewed and scored against each other by our committee. The top nominees, or nominees, are then formally inducted into the ABC Empire State Chapter Hall of Fame at this event.

Here's What Else You Missed
The gala isn't only an award ceremony!
It starts with networking that includes a golf outing for some while others enjoy a local tasting of craft beer, wine, and distilling paired nicely with local cuisine prepared by the culinary team at the Otesaga. In the evening, everyone gathered on the back deck for a cocktail hour before the ceremony began.
