Applications for the city of Cottonwood’s 2025 City Beautification Recognition Award Program opened on Tuesday, April 1, and will run through Wednesday, April 30.
Business owners can nominate their own businesses for the award, or they can be nominated by community members, via the city’s website. Eligible businesses must be located in “commercial properties that have well-maintained/enhanced landscaping, and have been in operation for one year or more [and] must be located within the incorporated city of Cottonwood city limits,” according to the city’s press release announcing the program. Judges will assess each property’s “overall appearance, curb appeal and best use of native plants,” according to the city’s press release.
The award will be presented at a City Council meeting and the winning busi-ness will be featured on the city’s website as well as receiving a commemorative yard sign. Belfry Wood Fired Grill and Brewery received the award in 2024.
