City Announces Business and Economic Development Award
The City of Davis Business and Economic Development Commission is seeking public suggestions for the fourth annual Business and Economic Development Awards. The Commission will recommend the City honor an individual, organization, or local business operating within the City of Davis for extraordinary contributions to their industry and the community. The Commission may recommend that City Council grant up to two awards in the following categories: individual, business or organization contributions to business and economic development; and extended excellence in local economic development. The Commission encourages businesses, organizations, and individuals to submit suggestions for award nomination prior to the deadline of Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at 5:00 p.m.
The award was established to recognize outstanding local businesses, organizations, or individuals who have made positive contributions to the City’s business and economic development climate. Last year three awards were bestowed. Reed Youmans was recognized for his Individual Contributions to Local Economic Development; the Davis Farmers Market was recognized for its Business Contributions to Local Economic Development; and Hibbert Lumber was recognized for its Extended Excellence in Local Economic Development.
The Commission will review public suggestions for potential nomination for contributions made within the past year and/or for extended excellence, to recognize lifetime business contributions. Candidates will be judged based on their innovations and achievements in their respective field or industry as well as their dedication to the community.
Award nomination forms may be obtained at the City of Davis website: www.cityofdavis.org, the Community Development and Sustainability Department at City Hall (23 Russell Blvd), or by phone at (530) 757-5610. Please contact Xzandrea Fowler at xfowler@cityofdavis.org or (530) 757-5610 with questions.
