The Community Development Department announced the relaunch of the Design and Development Awards. The public is invited to submit nominations for the 2020-21 awards by March 4 at DurangoGov.org/DesAwards.

Projects built or installed between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2021, are eligible for awards.

The city started the Design and Development Awards in 1983 to emphasize how good design and development enhances quality of life, creates a sense of place, adds housing units, and increases community resiliency and sustainability. The program was implemented for 18 years until 2001.
