The American Planning Association has named the Village of Kenmore as “One of the Top 10 Great Neighborhoods” in the United States for 2009 as part of its Great Places in America Program. The program recognizes 10 communities throughout the country for exceptional character and planning.
Kenmore was singled out for its historic architecture, walk-able design, accessibility, functionality, the commitment of its government officials, and for its community involvement. The Village, which recently celebrated its 110th anniversary of incorporation, is also one the Country’s 100 most dense urban areas, according to the 2000 census.
“We are thrilled to be named one of the Top 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2009. Everyone who lives and works in Kenmore knows what a special place this is,” stated Mayor Patrick Mang.
“Kenmore has so much to offer – beautiful homes, a strong business district, excellent public safety and emergency services – but its greatest asset is its people and the strong sense of community you find here,” said Trustee Paul Catalano.
APA Chief Executive Officer Paul Farmer, FAICP noted that “Kenmore shows how valuable and important all of American’s first-ring suburbs are to the metropolitan areas” and that “Kenmore is truly a model worth emulating.”
The other communities recognized as Great Neighborhoods for 2009 included Pasadena CA, New Orleans LA, Houston, TX, Newport News VA, Franklin TN, Portland OR, Fargo ND, Lincoln NE and Spokane, WA.
A formal presentation will be made on Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 11 a.m. on the Municipal Green located at the corner of Delaware Avenue and Delaware Road. All are welcome to attend!
