To recognize the projects and people involved in redevelopment throughout the state, three award series have been established. The Roy F. Kenzie and Thomas J. Mills Awards are given for outstanding examples of redevelopment and leadership, respectively, in Florida. The President’s Award is given for the “Best of the Best,” to honor the best project overall across all categories.
A winning entry from the Florida Redevelopment Association provides an acknowledgment of excellence for the work an organization is doing. The Best Book highlights this year’s winners and all of the quality entries received to celebrate the innovative redevelopment work transforming Florida every day. The Florida Redevelopment Association encourages you to use the Best Book as a tool to gather innovative ideas and communicate those ideas within your community for they are true success stories.
Congratulations to our 2010 Award Winners!
