McGough, a prominent construction and development company known for its complex historical restorations and renovations of Minnesota landmarks, won the Minnesota Brownfields ReScape Award for Economic Impact in the small-project division. The award was given for its conversion of a 60-year-old former trucking terminal into a new headquarters for its 250 employees.

GZA’s Vieau Associates subsidiary was cited for its environmental services on the McGough project by Minnesota Brownfields alongside the other engineering and architectural firms that comprised the design team. GZA/Vieau performed Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments and ushered a Response Action Plan through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Voluntary Brownfields Program to help secure approvals needed for cleanup grant funding and long-term liability assurances. The Vieau team provided comprehensive oversight during construction for hazardous materials abatement during demolition, contaminated soils management, and vapor mitigation system confirmatory testing.

GZA CEO and President Patrick Sheehan said: “All of us at GZA offer congratulations to Vice President David Vieau and our colleagues in Minnesota for playing such an important role in this award-winning brownfields project. The new McGough Company headquarters illustrates the full range of services GZA brings to bear on the successful redevelopment of distressed properties. We’re proud to play a key role in economic development initiatives that rejuvenate the communities we serve.”

The City of Roseville’s Economic Development Authority supported the cleanup and revitalization of the property, and Bremer Bank provided project financing.
