In March 2008, the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) presented its highest national award, the 2008 AON Build America Grand Award to C.C. Myers, Inc. for the 2007 emergency repair of the MacArthur Maze interchange. The company was described as demonstrating "exceptional excellence overcoming difficult challenges and exceeding time constraints" to finish the work. The 2008 Highway Renovation award was also presented to C.C. Myers, Inc. for the same project. AGC describes the Build America winners as people who "embody the industry at its best and truly illustrate how AGC contractors are building America's quality of life." At this year's event, the surprise presentation of the Grand Award was made to C.C. Myers, Inc. CEO, C.C. Myers, and the company's Vice President, Gary Janco. AGC is the oldest and largest construction trade association in the US.
