JBG RECOGNIZED FOR COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Friendship Heights-based development firm The JBG Companies has been recognized for contributions of volunteer effort, and affordable housing, by Montgomery County organizations.

The Montgomery County Volunteer Center awarded JBG the 2014 Montgomery Serves Award, given annually to 4 winners who engage in extraordinary community service and volunteerism. During the 2013 Days of Giving effort, over 400 JBG employees volunteered over 1600 hours of time with 10 charities. Habitat for Humanity and A Wider Circle were among the organizations benefitted by the JBG efforts.

Andrea Kempner-Wink of the MCVC said that JBG's volunteer mobilization in 2013 placed the firm at "the top position" among businesses and organizations countywide.

JBG was also named 2014 Builder of the Year by the Affordable Housing Conference of Montgomery County, for its commitment to increasing affordable housing in the area. AHCMC also commended JBG's volunteer efforts.

Among JBG's projects in downtown Bethesda are 7770 Norfolk, and projects on the boards near Fairmont Plaza and Bethesda Row.

Here are some actions scenes from earlier this week at 7770 Norfolk, some concrete pours at the future 17-story luxury apartment tower:
