The Talbot County Department of Economic Development and Tourism and the Economic Development Commission are now accepting online nominations for the 2025 Community Impact Awards.
These awards are presented each year to recognize outstanding businesses, nonprofits, community projects, and individuals who have made a significant impact in Talbot County. Winners will be announced at the annual Talbot County Business Appreciation Summit to be held this April at the Tidewater Inn in Easton.
The Summit is hosted each year by the Talbot County Department of Economic Development and Tourism in partnership with the Talbot County Economic Development Commission.
“Your nominations shine a spotlight on the remarkable individuals and businesses driving Talbot County’s economy,” says Cassandra Vanhooser, director of Talbot County Economic Development and Tourism. “This is an opportunity to celebrate the people and enterprises that make our community thrive, and we are proud to honor their achievements through this event and the nomination process.”
Last year’s winners included the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Welcome Center, Willow Construction, Tilghman Island Seafood, The Oxford Mews project, and Easton Utilities President and CEO Hugh Grunden.
“Successful businesses are the power source that fires the twin engines of prosperity and philanthropy,” says Vanhooser. “It’s important to pause and recognize the businesses and individuals who are significantly impacting the community.”
