10,000 Friends Of Pennsylvania 2010 Commonwealth Award Nominations Due
|
|
Attention smart growth advocates and urban design professionals! 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania is now accepting entries for the 2010 Commonwealth Awards program. The deadline for nominations is February 26.
The 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania Commonwealth Awards is a juried statewide 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.
A new design and leadership category was added in 2010. The PNC Bank Opportunity for All - Affordable Housing/ Community and Economic Development Awards will highlight affordable and special needs housing projects and community and economic initiatives that positively impact lower income communities.
In addition to the project awards, The PNC Leading the Way Awards will acknowledge outstanding leadership by specific individuals or teams in promoting and developing affordable housing in the commonwealth.
The Commonwealth Awards honor both design projects and individuals in two separate divisions. The design projects are evaluated by a jury of accomplished leaders in planning, design, and community development.
Eligible projects must be located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the project must have been built or under construction since January 1, 2005. The individuals are evaluated by the 10,000 Friends Board of Directors.
The 2010 winners will be announced at a program on May 11 at the Hilton Harrisburg in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
