Good neighbors to be honored at banquet in Bowling Green

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- The City of Bowling Green will honor neighborhood leaders during an annual banquet Thursday night.

The 19th annual Neighborhood Builders Banquet is at 6:30 p.m. at the Sloan Convention Center.

The Neighborhood Builder Awards are designed to recognize individuals and neighborhood groups who contribute to the quality of life in the city’s neighborhoods through community service, visionary leadership and acts of kindness.

Bowling Green Mayor, Bruce Wilkerson, said these are citizens everyone can be proud of.

“As an elected official for the city, to see people take it upon themselves to improve their neighborhoods and take care of their neighbors, that’s what you can ask for and it’s what you really look for in being part of a town like this. I just love this place,” Wilkerson said.

Residents representing more than two dozen neighborhoods are expected to attend.
