“We listened to our clients’ and partners’ needs and made over $67 million in building upgrades over the past four years. These honors demonstrate that we’ve met with their approval and we hope to continue to impress them by continuing to raise the bar in the areas of service, amenities and flexibility,” said Bob Johnson, president/general manager of the Ernest N.
