Metallo's Formal Wear & Spotless Cleaners, located at 310 W. Broad Street, Downtown Hazleton, recently received the "Downtown Pride" award from the Downtown Committee of the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce.

The award, initiated to help address the issue of cleanliness in the Downtown area, was the fifth such award presented by the committee. The award was initiated to recognize the efforts of individual businesses that set an example of pride in conducting a business in the Downtown area.

William L. Spear, chairman of the Chamber's Downtown Committee states, "We are recognizing Metallo's Formal Wear/Spotless Cleaners for paying special attention to the cleanliness surrounding their business. We are asking that every businessperson make the effort to, at least each Monday of the week, go out and pick up the litter and debris around their place of business. And, if the building next door to your business is vacant, to clean that area as well. Working together, we can make a difference in the cleanliness of the Downtown area, and Metallo's Formal Wear/Spotless Cleaners sets a prime example of this effort."

Joseph Scarcella, owner, was presented with a framed certificate from the Chamber of Commerce and its Downtown Promotions committee.
