Corps, GCR Win Award

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its contractor, GCR & Associates, Inc., won a national planning award involving the $585 million industrial canal lock replacement. The award was presented at a luncheon at the Radisson Hotel during the Federal Planning Division's annual conference in New Orleans, La.

The community planning process developed by the Corps and Metairie-based GCR was cited by the Federal Planning Division of the American Planning Association as the "outstanding non-military federal planning project" of 2001.
