Women Builders Council Honors 84 Lumber Owner and President, Maggie Hardy Magerko
EIGHTY FOUR, Pa. (May 17, 2017) – Owning a business brings great responsibility - to employees, customers and the communities the company serves. And no one personifies that responsibility better than 84 Lumber and Nemacolin Woodlands owner and president Maggie Hardy Magerko. Her commitment to taking on this responsibility has directly led to her success – and the success of both of her companies. In recognition of these achievements, Hardy Magerko was honored with the Champion Award, presented by the Women Builders Council, during an event on Tuesday, May 16, 2016 in New York City.
Selected as one of three 2017 recipients, Hardy Magerko was chosen for her ability to drive change.

Under her leadership, 84 Lumber has grown to more than 250 stores and was named to Forbes’ List of America’s 250 Best Mid-Size Employers for the last two years. Similarly, Nemacolin Woodlands has been rated a AAA Five-Diamond resort and boasts more than 2,000 acres of four-season amenities.
