The newly created Walt Horylev Civic Beautification Award will give recognition to a Hilton business owner or business property owner who enhances the appearance of the village by making improvements to the respective property. In his time as a Hilton Village Trustee, Walt Horylev actively promoted village enhancement. The project can be varied in scope; for example: a garden, facade improvement, landscaping, outdoor artwork, signs, a building, accessory to a building, a rehab effort and similar projects.
Members of the Hilton Village Board will select the winner from applicants who submit a picture and description of their beautification project and will award a plaque and a cash award. Normally, the beautification effort would have to occur sometime between January 1 and October 1 of any year, but this year the board will consider any recent effort starting January 1, 2011 up to October 1, 2012.
For information, the contest entry form and instructions visit www.hiltonny.org, or stop in at the Hilton Village Office, located in the Hilton Community Center building at 59 Henry Street, Hilton.
