DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Matthew E. Meagher, president of Meagher Energy Advisors, was recently named to the Denver Business Journal's (DBJ) 2012 Power Book. Meagher is one of 14 business leaders in Colorado to win in the business publication's annual awards program.
According to the DBJ, "The Power Book is an exclusive look at business leaders in 14 industry categories who made news in the last year or who, in the DBJ’s editorial department’s judgment, otherwise deserve recognition for their most recent business accomplishments."
Meagher won the energy and natural resources category in large part because of his leadership during the past two years brokering the $137 million contract between ConocoPhillips and the Colorado State Land Board. The agreement will allow ConocoPhillips to access 21,048 acres of the old Lowry bombing range east of Aurora. Meagher believes the lease will generate a minimum of $500 million in royalties, which will directly fund education in Colorado.
"I am incredibly humbled to be recognized by the Denver Business Journal for my work on this project. Not only did we create access to natural resources, we've helped support an important revenue stream for Colorado's educational system," said Meagher. "I'm very proud to be a part of this project. My kids, my employees' kids and my community's kids will all benefit from this project."
