Expansion Awards
The first "Mayor's
Expansion Awards Breakfast" was held in 1995. It was developed to bring more attention to the investment and job growth of
existing area businesses. Each year since, the Mayor has continued
to honor businesses that have worked with our Department and recommitted
themselves to our community with their reinvestment.
