Brasfield & Gorrie Recognized by Construction Management Organization

BIRMINGHAM, AL — announces that the (CMAA) South Atlantic Chapter has recognized the company. During an awards banquet in Atlanta, Georgia, the contractor earned a Project Achievement award in recognition of excellence in the construction of a new $20.3 million state-of-the art commercial data center for C Spire, a Mississippi-based telecommunications and technology services company.
