NAVASOTA NAMED FINALIST FOR 2020 TEXAS DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT’S AWARD
The City of Navasota has been named a finalist in the 2020 Texas Downtown Association’s (TDA) President’s Award program.
The city is a finalist in the Best Promotion-Digital Campaign category for Shop Local Navasota, a campaign developed to promote local businesses and provide COVID-19 updates.
The campaign consists of a website containing information on businesses for community members interested in shopping local, an Instagram page, and the Navasota Economic Development Corporation’s Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant.
The awards program, sponsored by the TDA, has recognized outstanding projects, places, and people of Texas downtowns for over 30 years. This year, 104 entries were submitted in 11 different categories. Due to the number of entries, they were divided into two categories – Design and Achievement – with separate judging panels for each group.
Winners will be announced virtually on the TDA Facebook page in a series of award announcement videos. Design Awards will be presented October 27th at noon, followed by the Achievement Awards October 28th at noon and the People Specialty (Individual Awards) October 29th at noon. The award announcements will lead up to the kickoff of the virtual 2020 Texas Downtown Conference from November 9-12.
