Granite joins effort to develop infrastructure sustainability ratings

Granite Construction Inc. recently joined the Sustainability Infrastructure Advisory Board at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design to help develop and promote a rating system to measure the sustainability of infrastructure projects across the United States.

Granite was chosen because it has one of the few infrastructure sustainability plans in the nation.

“As infrastructure sustainability becomes increasingly important to cities, counties and states, the need for project owners, designers and contractors to implement a recognized rating system has risen to the forefront,” says Geoff Boraston, director of environmental affairs for Granite Construction.
