Neighborhoods Receive Recognition At Conference
Two Riverview neighborhoods were among 15 groups and individuals across Hillsborough County to take top honors in the annual Neighborhood Recognition Awards program which highlights those who efforts go above and beyond to make a difference.
The countywide awards program recognizes individuals, groups and organizations that have enriched the quality of life in neighborhoods through outreach, improvement projects, volunteer work, safety programs, art, partnerships and board leadership.
Nominations were received in 10 categories and the winners were announced at a luncheon during the 15th annual Hillsborough County Neighborhoods Conference in May.
The South Fork Neighborhood Watch in Riverview won the “Make it Happen” award for a community service program the group put together for the Bay Pines and James A. Haley VA hospitals and the Fisher House of Bay Pines and Tampa Bay. The group collected donations of reading materials for family members whose loved ones are receiving treatment at the facilities. The group also won the “Neighborhood Watch and CERT” award for its use of a web page and multiple social media platforms to communicate with residents and its 206 members.
The winner in the “Most Effective Board” category was the Lake St. Charles Board of Supervisors which successfully transitioned operations to a debt-free community that progressively plans and implements its vision for the sustainable, vibrant and desirable neighborhood in the Riverview area.
