“We are proud to honor the achievements of this year’s award recipients, who continue to set the benchmark for quality and innovation in our industry,” said James Vagle, CEO of Housing First Minnesota. “Their commitment improves the lives of Minnesotans and strengthens our communities by providing safe and durable homes.
Other top awards presented included the Robert L. Hanson Lifetime Achievement Award for industry service and the Minnesota Green Path Leadership Award which honors leaders in green homebuilding.
