CENTREVILLE, Va., Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that the company was recognized with a Gold Award for Project Development by the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships. The award honors outstanding achievements in public-private partnerships (P3s) for Parsons’ work as part of the Valley Line West Light Rail Train (LRT) team.

The Valley Line West LRT contract, a $2.65 billion, 14-kilometer light rail extension project, was awarded in December 2020 and is currently being designed by joint venture partners Colas Canada and Parsons. The award recognizes the project development team for excellence and innovation in P3s which result in enhanced quality of public services and facilities.

“We are a proud part of the Valley Line West LRT team, working to deliver a transformative piece of Edmonton’s transportation network,” said Peter Torrellas, president, Connected Communities at Parsons. “Together with the City, we leveraged digitalization in infrastructure delivery, enabling a shorter procurement process, driving cost savings, and reducing execution risk through the use of advanced program management tools and design visualization software.”

Upon completion, the Edmonton community will have light rail access to all major city hospitals, increased access to downtown, and improved light rail connection to major universities and tourist attractions in the region.
