A 33-year-old urban planner whose designs have shaped cities worldwide, a 34-year-old architect who executed the Land of Lincoln's first LEED-Gold-certified apartment tower and a 38-year-old builder with a penchant for online marketing programs are among the rising stars selected as ENR Midwest's Top 20 Under 40. The annual competition recognizes young design and construction professionals from the region who have made significant contributions to their professions and communities.
ENR Midwest received scores of nominations during a submission period extending from Nov. 1 to Dec. 8. An independent panel of five industry professionals selected those candidates they believed best demonstrated excellence and leadership in their professions and communities.
