Today we carry heavy hearts after hearing of the passing of Milt V. Peterson, the former Principal and Chairman of Peterson Companies. Over the past fifty years, he has built a family company with a reputation based on integrity and vision. Milt’s legacy can be seen across the region in places like National Harbor, Downtown Silver Spring, and several planned communities. For his achievements in shaping the built environment, he was the recipient of the 2006 ULI Washington‘s Lifetime Achievement Award. He will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.
