2021 Women in Construction: Bernadette Butterfield, Vice President, Business Development, Groom Construction Co., Inc.

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? We’ve had so many great projects continue this year, despite the pandemic, it’s difficult to pick one, however the most significant area of growth that so closely aligns with our corporate mission and values is the affordable housing sector. Harbor Village in Gloucester will be delivered in June just as Anchor Point in Beverly breaks ground and the gut renovation of 6 buildings comprising Walando Homes in Boston begins. Working with these non-profit partners, two of whom are repeat clients, and creating much needed housing for the residents of these communities is incredibly rewarding.
