Bruce Robinson, Balfour Beatty president and chief executive officer, said, " Balfour Beatty Communities is committed to providing a quality of living environment that supports the diverse interests and needs of our military families. Through the Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation, we say thank you for the work that you do and the sacrifices military families make."
