Chairman.

The Community Area New Development Organization, CAN DO, Inc., located at 1 S. Church Street, 200 Renaissance Center, 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, is 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. Businesses are asked to 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 in the case of winter conditions, to make sure sidewalks are kept cleared of snow and ice. 

W. Kevin O’Donnell, president, was presented with a framed certificate from the Chamber of Commerce and its Downtown Promotions committee.

Previous winners of the award include: Deb & Greg’s Corner Tavern, Fellin’s Jewelers, Mr. Phil’s Wicker & Laundry Center, Lehigh Tire Co., Hazleton Area Public Library, Chaskin Jewelers, and Metallo’s Formal Wear/Spotless Cleaners.
