Development of Watershed Restoration Plans Given Public Policy Forum Recognition
Sweet Water accepted an award given by the Public Policy Forum at its Salute to Local Government event on June 17, recognizing the development of Watershed Restoration Plans in the Private-Public Cooperation category.
The Public Policy Forum believes that local governments deserve recognition for their achievements. Constituents can be frustrated, the media critical, and the public at large bewildered or indifferent. Yet there are many examples of strong government performance throughout our region, and of local government workers who excel. The awards event was held to highlight these examples.
Awards were given in the following categories:
Innovative Response to Economic Downturn
Effective Use of Technology
Intergovernmental Cooperation
Private-Public Cooperation
Leader of the Future Award
Norman N. Gill Award for Individual Excellence
