Montgomery County, PA

 

The Montgomery County Planning Commission is accepting nominations through April 27 for The Montgomery Awards program.  Winning entries will be publicized and featured at an awards ceremony.

 

This annual program is dedicated to raising planning and design awareness in our communities, as well as the importance of revitalization.  It honors the developers, consultants, organizations and municipalities for their commitment and contribution to the enhancement of Montgomery County.  The program has two major awards.   

 

The Land Development Award recognizes projects that exemplify exceptional site planning and design, innovative planning concepts, environmental sensitivity or the preservation of natural and cultural amenities.  Projects can include a variety of residential, office and commercial developments as well as historic preservation projects, municipal open space and park planning efforts and community improvements.

 

The Revitalization Award acknowledges successful revitalization projects and programs in Montgomery County.  Eligible entries can include buildings, streetscape improvements, community enhancements, Main Street programs and façade improvement programs. 

 

Anyone may submit nominations, including municipal officials, developers, organizations and agencies, businesses, planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers and citizens.
 
All nominations are evaluated by the planning commission.  A select group of final entries is visited, judged and awarded by either The Land Development Award Committee or The Revitalization Award Committee. Visit www.planning.montcopa.org for more on The Montgomery Awards.
