Nominations accepted for community awards

Three new awards will be presented in the Clearwater community, including volunteer, community organization (non-profit) and business of the year.

Economic development director Lauren Sheridan-Simonsen presented the idea at the village’s Jan. 10 meeting.

Community members may nominate an individual, group or business as a way “to recognize individuals who give their time, talents and treasure.”

“You just can’t run a community without the great volunteers and businesses,” Sheridan-Simonsen said.

Funding for the awards will be made through the village’s LB840 fund, for community betterment.
