RE: 2011 Growth Partner Awards
As the Economic Development Authority is aware, the 2011 EDA Golf Outing is quickly
approaching. One of the highly anticipated aspects of the event involves the announcement of
the annual Growth Partner Awards. In the past, the issuance of the awards have largely been
based on the square footage of construction or total value of construction or average value of
construction, a combination of all of these, and /or level of support or impact upon EDA
development efforts. There have also been cases where we have issued awards based on
notable contributions, such as the engineering or building of a particularly notable project. The
Growth Partner recipients for the years of 2003 to 2010 are attached.
With the limited amount of new commercial construction that has taken place during the previous
calendar year, the EDA may want to consider alternate parameters for determining an
appropriate commercial recipient this year. The most up to date residential and commercial
activity reports will be provided at the EDA meeting.
