| Cafémantic recipient of Business Owner of the Year Award from Connecticut Main Street Center (Hartford, CT) – Connecticut Main Street Center (CMSC) is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2012 Awards of Excellence. The winners of these prestigious awards actively championed the revitalization and
economic development of downtowns across Connecticut through initiatives ranging from rebuilding and redesigning downtown spaces to working with local police to increase safety for area businesses. The winning entries represent initiatives and organizations from Hartford, Middletown, New London, Simsbury, Suffield, Waterbury and Willimantic.
“The vitality of our city centers is critical to our efforts to spur Connecticut’s next economic revival,” said Governor Dannel P. Malloy. “I applaud this year’s award winners for their work to reinvigorate and re-imagine the public spaces that will draw visitors to all we have to offer—shops, restaurants and entertainment. When our urban centers thrive, we all benefit.”
The Awards of Excellence were created in 2003 to recognize outstanding projects, individuals and partnerships in community efforts to bring traditional downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts back to life, socially and economically. The Connecticut Main Street Awards annually celebrate and communicate the most successful and innovative efforts in Main Street revitalization in Connecticut. Submissions were judged on criteria which included innovation, replication, representation and partnerships utilized, and outcome.
