South Norwalk, CT, May 6, 2015 – Robert Root, Wilton’s Chief Building Official has been recognized as the 2015 Building Official of the Year by the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Fairfield County (HBRA), a not-for-profit trade organization representing many of the area builders, remodelers, land developers and allied services associated with the real estate development industry. Root, who heads Wilton’s Building Department, was honored at the association’s annual building officials night held on May 6 at a meeting hosted by Clarke Distributors in South Norwalk. The meeting, attended by over 100 HBRA members, District 8 building official association members and their guests, was an opportunity to show support for their industry and network together on important mutual goals.
