DeWitt’s Carrier Park really is “more than you think!” The Willis Carrier Park & Recreation Center in the town of DeWitt was recently awarded the 2016 Design & Installation Silver Excellence in Masonry Award from the American Concrete Institute. Carrier Park shares the award with King & King Architects.

Palucci Engineering, McGinnis-Nelson Construction, Loomis Masonry, and Barnes & Cone, Inc. were also named on the American Concrete Institute award.

In recognition of local businesses who helped to design and construct the state-of-the-art facility, one of the first totally integrated, totally handicap accessible facilities of its kind in the United States, Town of DeWitt Supervisor Ed Michalenko presented Mark Azzarello of  King & King Architects and Taylor Goldthwaite and Jessica Smith of Appel Osborne Landscape Architects with a special award of recognition to a large crowd gathered at Carrier Park on Friday, July 21 for a Symphoria concert and fireworks display.
