Smith Calls for Nominations for Excellence in Economic Development Awards

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) called today for nominations for the 2016 Excellence in Economic Development awards. Smith’s awards are open to individuals (including youth), businesses, and organizations in the Third District who – through innovation, hard work, and entrepreneurship – strengthen Nebraska’s communities.

The winning entries will be recognized by Smith before the U.S. House of Representatives.

Nominations are due by Friday, July 1. Forms are available at Smith’s Grand Island and Scottsbluff offices or online at AdrianSmith.house.gov/EconomicDevelopment.

“As I travel the 75 counties of the Third District, I am always impressed by the many Nebraskans working hard to grow opportunity in their communities,” Smith said. “These awards celebrate their efforts, and I look forward to reviewing this year’s nominees.”
