Nominees sought for Landmark Towns award
By GEMA MARIA DUARTE

Do you know an outstanding person, business or organization involved with the Landmark Towns projects?

Nominate that person or entity for the first Landmark Towns of Bucks County community achievement awards.

“The awards are intended to recognize and celebrate the achievements of the best people, businesses and organizations in Bucks County whose works complement the mission of Landmark Towns,” said Donna Boone, regional Main Street coordinator for Landmark Towns of Bucks County.

Landmark Towns is a regional revitalization initiative of four boroughs along the Delaware Canal — Bristol, Morrisville, New Hope and Yardley. The project, which is led by the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, is designed to help these small towns renew economic life in their business districts, while preserving and enhancing their industrial and cultural heritage.

“The countless hours that these individuals, businesses and not-for-profit organizations provide significantly contribute to a better quality of life, making the four Landmark Towns better places to live, work and play,” Boone said.

Nominations can be made in several categories, such as Landmark Towns of Bucks County Partner of the Year, Woman in Business, Philanthropy, Economic Development, Cultural/Historic Organization, Community Enrichment and Business Excellence.

Details of each category can be found in the nomination brochures available at the four borough halls or by requesting them from Boone at 2 Canals End Road Suite 204-C in Bristol or calling 215-781-2605.

Nominations are due by Jan. 16. Recipients will receive their awards at a banquet April 29 at the Yardley Country Club.
