In this Contest, it's Beauty on the Outside that Counts

If you’ve been power-washing, painting, landscaping, reconstructing, replacing or enhancing the exterior of your residential or commercial property in Belmont, you just might qualify as a nominee in the fifth annual Beautiful Belmont Awards Program.

Last year’s award winners will be honored at the Belmont City Council meeting on Dec. 13, and nominations are now open for 2011 winners from the community in both residential and commercial categories.

This recognition program is designed to acknowledge individuals, businesses, and community groups who have enhanced the community by making significant exterior improvements to their Belmont properties.

Eligible improvements include the enhancement, upgrading, reconstruction, or replacement of a property, making it more visually appealing as well as enriching the surrounding neighborhood or district.

City Manager Greg Scoles states, "This program is an excellent opportunity to let the community know how much the City appreciates their effort to help make Belmont one of the most beautiful communities on the Peninsula."
