TUCSON (August 2, 2019)- On Friday, Nov.1, 2019, the Metropolitan Pima Alliance (MPA) will hold its 15th Annual Common Ground Awards Ceremony at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort.

Since the first ceremony in 2003, over 280 projects have been recognized that embody MPA’s mission to create a prosperous community by promoting collaborative real estate development policies, building partnerships and finding common ground. 

Brian Barker, president of Barker Contracting, said, "We are happy to continue our support because the whole common ground theme matches perfectly with our organization and how we do business. We know that MPA’s work is very important to our industry."

Twenty finalists have been identified through a multistep process. All finalists will be interviewed by a panel of MPA members and then scored against weighted criteria including collaboration quality, impact and complexity.
