Transportation, medical facilities and university upgrades dominated this year's ranking of the biggest projects in the Mountain States, although a handful of commercial and office projects made the list, good news for an area in need of a private-sector boost.
To be ranked, projects had to be located in any of five states that comprise the Mountain States region. They could be any type of construction, from energy, heavy-highway and infrastructure work to new buildings and renovations. The list appears in ranked order by dollar volume of construction cost. Projects must have broken ground during calendar year 2012.
