Allamakee County Economic Development announces Cloy Kuhse Positive Impact Award in honor of former Board member

At the Allamakee County Economic Development (ACED) Annual Meeting held Thursday, September 8 at the Waukon City Park, the ACED Board of Directors announced a new business recognition award.
The “Cloy Kuhse Positive Impact Award” was created to honor the late Cloy Kuhse, who was an ACED Board of Directors member at the time of his passing earlier this year. “The award was created to highlight and recognize a business that is making a positive impact in Allamakee County, as well as to honor the memory of Cloy and his vision,” ACED Executive Director Laura Olson stated.
To be eligible, the recipient must be a business located in Allamakee County. “We wanted to leave the criteria general so that we didn’t limit what people interpret as a positive impact,” Olson added.
ACED will receive nominations until August of 2012, and the first recipient will be awarded at the 2012 ACED Annual Meeting in September. The award recipients will receive their own plaque and will also be listed on the award plaque that will be displayed at the ACED office in Waukon.
Nomination forms can be picked up at the ACED office, 101 West Main Street in Waukon, and are available on the ACED website, www.allamakeecounty.com, under Economic Development. Contact ACED Executive Director Laura Olson at 563-568-2624 for more information.
