East Windsor wants to recognize local businesses that make special efforts to improve or contribute to the community.
The township is seeking nominations for the 2015 Township Business Awards Program. There are three categories of award recognition — Business Beautification, Community Service, and Community Enhancement.
Business Beautification means that a business has been creating an attractive appearance, for example, through landscaping, flowers, and other enhancements to their structures and site. Community Service means a business has been providing for community contributions and service. Community Enhancement means a business has been providing any community value added aspect related to their business, for example, extraordinary job creation or an unusual or special product or opportunity. Green and sustainable practices, for example, green products, energy conservation, reduction of waste and energy consumption are encouraged and will be given more weight.
Mayor Janice Mironov said, “This program was created to give well deserved recognition to businesses who have made special efforts to enhance our community. It also highlights the importance which our community gives to local business owners and operators.”
Nomination forms are available at the Municipal Building, at the Hickory Corner and Twin Rivers branch public libraries, and posted online at www.east-windsor.nj.us.
The deadline for nominations is Sept. 17.A selection committee will review all nominations and select the winning businesses.
The awards to the businesses selected will be made at a Township Council meeting in the fall.
