Each awardee received a Standard of Excellence Award window decal. The owners will also be invited to an upcoming awards ceremony.
City Beautiful Commission Chair Rene Ziaja praised those selected in 2023.
“The Dearborn City Beautiful Commission is pleased to recognize this year’s honorees for their outstanding efforts to promote a positive image of our community to our residents, visitors, customers, and potential investors,” Ziaja said. “The creativity and care they take with their property enhances our quality of life and our economic vitality.”
The Business Standard of Excellence Awards is just one of the many programs the City Beautiful Commissioners present each year in support of their mission to recognize and encourage property maintenance and showcase the city’s unique neighborhoods and commercial areas. The commission organizes the summer Residential Standard of Excellence Awards; the Dearborn Aglow spring, fall, and winter decorating awards; and spring programs with Dearborn schools to promote environmental sustainability and anti-littering messaging.
Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud appoints the commissioners and provides general direction for their initiatives.
