Best Landscape/Hardscape/Urban Development Project: Green Space Meets A Downtown Square
In January 2012, Arrighi Construction completed the $7.1-million North Boulevard Town Square Project, the first component of Baton Rouge's Riverfront Master Plan, which is aimed at revitalizing the downtown area.
After 12 months, the two-and-a-half block area of the city's historic North Boulevard area was redeveloped to include specialty pavement, crosswalks and curb extensions. A 40-ft-tall granite-based steel Beacon Tower with an LED screen is the focal point of the square.
