Robert L. Moylan, Jr.
Project of the Year Award

The Massachusetts Coalition for Water Resources Stewardship (MCWRS) established the Robert L. Moylan, Jr. Project of the Year Award in honor of Bob Moylan, who was a founding member of MCWRS and served as Director from 2009 - 2018, and as President/Chairman from 2009 - 2011.

While Bob has moved on to other opportunities, his contribution to the formation and continued success of MCWRS and the development of the Coalition’s goals and strategies was invaluable. The award honors projects that embody the principles of MCWRS, for which Bob has been a tireless supporter. These include planning, designing, or constructing an infrastructure project that accomplishes:

  • Application of sound science and a holistic approach

  • Incorporation of fiscal considerations, such as cost/benefit analysis

Previous award winners include:

  • 2022: Greater Lawrence Sanitary District, North Andover, MA | Executive Director Cheri R. Cousens, P.E.

  • 2021: Upper Blackstone Clean Water, Millbury, MA | Engineer Director/Treasurer Karla H. Sangrey, P.E.
