PURPOSE
Each year the City of Hopkins recognizes certain properties for their contribution toward
the positive image of the community. Awards are grouped in three categories –
Commercial/Industrial/Office, Multi-Family Residential, and Single-Family Residential.
Nominations are sought from the public through August and a review committee
determines which nominated properties receive awards. Each property that receives at
least four of the five review committee votes receives an award. There is no limit to the
number of properties that can be awarded, but winners from the last 10 years are not
considered.
The following properties were selected by the committee:
• 137 7th Avenue North
• 407 5th Avenue North
• 1810 – 1816 Mainstreet
The winning property owners have been invited to attend the meeting to receive their
award from the Mayor and City Council Members.
