USGBC Virgina is pleased to announce our 2022 Project Award finalists. Our Community Leader Awards promote and recognize excellence in sustainable design, environmental stewardship, and community impact and highlight the green building initiatives and achievements of local projects, businesses, and individual leaders. Given in several categories, our Project Awards honor innovative, high-performance projects that are leading the way to a greener tomorrow for all in Virginia.

Winners will be announced and celebrated during a statewide online awards ceremony on November 16 from 4-5 pm. Attendees will have the opportunity to particpate in the event from anywhere via a computer or smart device, or they may connect with their colleagues one of the several in person watch parties currently being organized across the state. All guests will have the opportunity to vote to determine which project will take home our 2022 People's Choice Award.

We hope you can join us as we recognize and celebrate our winners, and all our finalists! You can learn more about the event and register here.
