10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania, the statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to smart growth, wants to honor visionaries whose works create sustainable growth and workable solutions for the Commonwealth's economy and environment. The public is invited to nominate entries for the 2009 Commonwealth Awards to be presented in next June.
The 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania Commonwealth Awards is a juried state-wide program to recognize businesses, nonprofits, elected officials, and citizens contributing to the economic and environmental health of the Commonwealth.
The awards pay tribute to visionaries - developers, builders, designers, community leaders, local officials, financiers, and others - who have invested in building a better future for Pennsylvania. These leaders put smart growth to work by envisioning, promoting, designing and building communities that improve life for residents, employers, employees, and visitors.
