Cornerstone Tribute Award

The Cornerstone Tribute is designed to recognize people and / or organizations in the community who work to make Castle Rock a better place to live.

Criteria

Any individual or organization is eligible for nomination. Nominations may be made by an individual or group / organization. The recognition honors those who have made substantial efforts resulting in long-lasting, positive effects on Castle Rock. This impact should support one of the four Town Cornerstones established in the Vision 2020: Town identity, community planning, community services or local economy.

• Town identity - To preserve Castle Rock’s history and character as a distinct and physically separate community that is the center of Douglas County.
• Community planning - To ensure the Town is carefully planned to accommodate the needs of existing and future residents while preserving and protecting Castle Rock’s Town identity and quality of life.
• Community services - To ensure that all necessary community services are provided to support the public interest and well-being of all Castle Rock residents and businesses.
• Local economy - To promote economic self-sufficiency and long-term stability of the local economy, to provide residents with a broad range of employment opportunities, and to provide the Town with a healthy tax base.
