Each year the Partnership presents awards to individuals, groups, projects, initiatives, or companies to celebrate those who have taken concrete action to create a brighter future for our county!
 
The Crawford Partnership recognizes the importance of community development and quality of life in economic development. That’s why they created the Community Development Award, given to an organization, person, or project that improves the community in areas such as infrastructure, housing, leadership, and more. Previous winners include Kevin Kimmel, Brad DeCamp, Doug Leuthold, Crawford County Public Health, and Angela Neef.
2023’s winner is Dave Riedel and the New Washington Veterans Mural, which has shown exceptional leadership in improving the community in line with Crawford County’s vision and strategic plans. Congratulations!
