Each year the Downtown Development Association recognizes businesses in downtown for their entrepreneurial success at five year intervals. Downtown Lincolnton has the highest concentration of locally-owned independent businesses in Lincoln County. Small businesses are the leading job creators and employers in Lincolnton as well as the state and country. Often great attention is given to the attraction of new business to a community neglecting the contribution and support existing businesses make to the local economy and community.
The Main Street Milestone Award acknowledges the significant contributions these small businesses make to create local jobs, increase the local tax base and improve the quality of life for local residents. It highlights and celebrates the individual entrepreneurial success stories that make Lincolnton such a great place to live, work, play and belong.
The following Businesses will be recognized Friday August 26th at the Downtown Development Associations annual awards program during the intermission at the Fourth Friday Alive After Five Concert.
