The HR Green Project of the Year Awards celebrate outstanding internal project teams whose work embodies our mission: Building Communities. Improving Lives. These awards recognize projects that demonstrate innovation, collaboration, exceptional client service, and strong financial performance.
Each business unit—Broadband, Construction, Land Development, Municipal Services, Transportation, and Water—submits one project per region for consideration. An internal committee then evaluates the submissions and selects a top project for each business unit. From these finalists, one is chosen as the Ultimate HR Green Project of the Year.
In the coming weeks, we’ll spotlight each winning project and the teams behind them, culminating in the announcement of the year’s top honor.
Congratulations to all the teams recognized. Your work exemplifies the impact and quality we strive to deliver every day.
Broadband Project of the Year
Congratulations to the Underline Infrastructure project team for receiving the Broadband Project of the Year.
Underline Infrastructure selected Colorado Springs for its first U.S. open-access fiber network, bringing high-speed internet to homes, businesses, and public agencies. HR Green supported Phase 2 with fiber network planning and design, GIS workflows, jurisdictional coordination, and data-driven processes that accelerated delivery and helped maintain an aggressive construction schedule.
The project also advanced HR Green’s Design Model approach by using automation and GIS-based tools to improve accuracy, reduce manual effort, and meet strict data requirements. Through close collaboration with Underline and its construction partner, HR Green established quality standards, supported right-of-way compliance, and helped build a scalable network that is delivering reliable gigabit-plus fiber service to tens of thousands of households and businesses across Colorado.
