Colantonio receives AGC MA Build New England Performance Award for work on State House

Boston, MA Colantonio Inc. was honored with a Build New England Performance Award by the Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts for its work on the State House Senate Chamber renovations project.

“This was one of the most challenging and rewarding projects we have ever done,” said chairman and CEO Fran Colantonio. “We are thrilled to be recognized with this distinguished award, and we thank all of our project partners for their talent and hard work.”

The award was presented to the project team, which included Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance and CBT Architects, at its biannual gala at the Intercontinental Hotel in Boston.
