The National League of Cities (NLC) and CH2M Hill, a corporate partner of NLC, announced that the Town of Enfield is a finalist for the 2006 Awards for Municipal Excellence. Enfield will move into the last round of consideration for the awards.
The Awards for Municipal Excellence recognize outstanding programs that have significantly contributed to the quality of life in their city. This year, cities and towns from 38 states and Washington, DC sent in nominations.
"Enfield, Connecticut has demonstrated its leadership and creativity and is being recognized as a finalist for the Awards for Municipal Excellence", said Don Borut, NLC's Executive Director. The Road 2000 Program is illustrative of the type of projects that are improving the lives of residents in cities and towns across the country."
The Road 2000 Program was judged on the following criteria: successful public-private partnership ventures; productive citizen and community collaborations; effective management of municipal resources (public or private); innovative government policies; project implementation with tangible results; and/or the ability to replicate the project in other cities.
The winners of the 2006 Awards for Municipal Excellence will be announced and recognized formally at the National League of Cities' Congress of Cities and Exposition in Reno, Nevada, in December.
