Eight individuals and organizations from across Michigan were recognized at the Governor's Energy Excellence Award (GEEA) for their extraordinary efforts to reduce energy waste. The winners were announced by Gov. Rick Snyder and honored at a ceremony in Detroit, Michigan. The Gateway Village project was awarded for the category of Best Commercial Project (Private).

The program is a way to encourage energy-efficient practices in buildings across the state and to instill a spirit of friendly competition among the area's building owners and operators.
