Town Awards Pride of Clarkstown
Awards on February 9th
New
City, NY - Councilmember George Hoehmann, Supervisor Alex Gromack, and the Town
Board will award the 2009 Pride of Clarkstown Awards on Tuesday,
February 9, 2010 at the Town Board Meeting scheduled for 8 p.m. All
residents and businesses are welcome to attend.
The
program was created to recognize outstanding commercial properties, nominated
by individuals and civic organizations. This is the fourth annual Pride
of Clarkstown ceremony in which the winners will receive an attractive award to
display at their place of business.
“The
committee of volunteers visited every nominated site and met numerous times to
carefully choose winners in each category,” said Councilman George Hoehmann,
the Town Board Liaison for the Pride of Clarkstown. “My deep appreciation
goes to the members of the committee who have donated their time and talent to
recognize businesses that are going above and beyond others in making our town
more attractive for all of us.”
Supervisor
Gromack and the Town Board established this program and a committee in 2005
under the leadership of the late Clarkstown Councilman Ralph Mandia. The committee of volunteers accepts nominations,
separates them by various categories and after careful consideration selects
the winners.
“I
congratulate this year’s winners and thank the committee for their hard work,”
said Supervisor Gromack. “These businesses have proven their commitment
to the Town and our community by making such beautiful enhancements to their
properties.”
The
Pride of Clarkstown Awards serves as an incentive to business owners to take
that extra step to make their property look beautiful. The goal is that
these voluntary and often costly efforts would prompt other business owners to
do the same. Since its inception businesses are continuing to beautify their
establishments in a unique public/private partnership that is not at taxpayer
expense and makes us all feel a sense of civic pride.
“If
Ralph were here today, he would be most proud of the efforts of these business
owners who truly are the Pride of Clarkstown,” said Councilman Hoehmann.
