ASHEVILLE REOPENING:
Asheville is currently reopening in stages and pockets. Many businesses and restaurants are reopening as widespread power and water service return. The Asheville Airport is open and operating.
Downtown Asheville infrastructure remained largely untouched by the storm, allowing shops and restaurants to reopen, some with limited operations, alongside neighbors in the towns of Weaverville and Black Mountain.

ABOUT THE AWARDS
DBIA Southeast recognizes exemplary applications of Design-Build Done RightTM that, at a minimum, resulted in highly successful design-build projects achieving best-value while meeting design and construction quality, cost and schedule goals. Winning projects and team members exemplifying design-build best practices will be celebrated publicly through DBIA Southeast’s awards programs and external promotion.
To be considered for a design-build award, projects must demonstrate successful application of design-build principles including, but not limited to, interdisciplinary collaboration in the early stages of the project and the acceptance of single-entity risk. The goal of completing projects on-time and on-budget (and with no litigation) is not a criterion for winning an award — it is a minimum standard for all projects submitted. Winning projects are honored for the advanced and innovative application of total integrated project delivery and finding unique solutions for project challenges.
