High Point’s selection means that the community
will receive at least a Silver Medal and $10,000, which will be used
for playground equipment. The selection committee will visit all of
the finalist before selecting the Gold Medal winner in May. The
committee visited High Point for several days beginning on
President’s Day Weekend. In addition to tours of the site they met
with planners, architects and residents.
George Nemeth, housing developer, was
responsible for preparing SHA's application for the award. According
to Nemeth, “The Rudy Bruner Award is a high-profile award and this
selection represents great recognition for the project and SHA.”
Nemeth and the High Point team had to fill out a
35-page application that included questions such as,
“Describe the underlying values of the project.” SHA’s answer: “Engage
the community, respect nature at every stage of the
development process and create a healthy living environment for
many generations of residents.”

High Point is also in contention for several
other national awards that may be announced in the next few months,
including an important national award from the American Institute of
Architects. The development has already received a variety of
prestigious awards and is proud to add the Rudy Bruner Award to the
list.
