March 20, 2007

The City of Arlington has received recognition from the American Subcontractors Association for the Dallas Cowboys Stadium project and the economic development vision for northeast Arlington.

The 2006 Vision Award was presented March 8 by the North Texas Chapter of the ASA during their 29th Annual Awards Night and Silent Auction in Addison. The Vision Award is judged on a number of factors, including project size, design, appeal, and community adaptation. The nominees included Dallas’ Trinity River Corridor Project and the Erickson Retirement Communities Project.

Mayor Robert Cluck said the awards are a tribute to the high professional development standards being set by the Dallas Cowboys organization and the City of Arlington.
“The stadium and all of the development activities occurring in the northeast sector of our city are quality projects that will positively impact the city and the entire North Texas Region for many years to come,” he said.

Past recipients of the Vision Award have included the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Terminal, Gaylord Texas, Radio Shack Corporation headquarters and the Hillwood Capital Victory Center.
