East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov announced that East Windsor Township is seeking nominations for the 2018 Township Business Awards Program.  The purpose of the program is to recognize local businesses that make special efforts to improve or contribute to the community.

The three categories of Township award recognition are Business Beautification, Community Service, and Community Enhancement.  Mayor Mironov explained that the three categories are:   (1) Business Beautification - creating an attractive appearance, for example, through landscaping, flowers, and other enhancements to their structures and site; or (2) Community Service – providing for community contributions and service; or (3) Community Enhancement - 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 Mironov stated, “this program was created to give well deserved recognition to businesses which have made special efforts to enhance our community.  It also highlights the importance which our community places on 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 September 14, 2018. 

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.
