A Community Enhancement Award was also presented to the Defense Mission Task Force, Sub-committee on Encroachment, for the successful initiative to halt further residential development and preclude the use of water in certain areas adjacent to Fort Carson.
The Economic Impact Awards for the largest positive annual impact on the funding for the EDC program were presented to Nor’wood Development Group and La Plata Investments.
Former city manager Lorne Kramer was recognized with the Outstanding Community Service Award for his support of economic development and service to the community, and Bob Cutter, chairman of the Council for Local Industry, was recognized as the Volunteer of the Year for his contribution of over 200 hours to the Local Industry program.
