  The Heart of Hanover Awards, the inaugural Hanover County Business Awards program, is set to recognize and celebrate outstanding local businesses in the County.  Hanover County Economic Development has worked closely with partners including the Hanover Education Foundation, Hanover Chamber of Commerce, and Richmond Times Dispatch to plan this inaugural event.

  “Businesses are the heart and soul of the Hanover economy, offering so much to our local community every day” states John Budesky, Hanover County Administrator.  “This is a small way which County government and, especially residents of the community, can say ‘thank you’ and provide recognition to our vibrant business community.”

  With seven public-voted awards, this program aims to spotlight exceptional contributions to the community and economic development in Hanover County. The public will determine the Heart of Hanover Awards in the following categories: Destination Business of the Year, Health and Wellness Business of the Year, Manufacturer of Coolest Thing Made in Hanover, Nonprofit of the Year, Retail Business of the Year, Restaurant of the Year, and Service Business of the Year.

  Nominations for the seven public-decided awards will open for a 3-week period starting on Monday, April 14, 2025.  Business nominations can be self-nominated or submitted by the public.  All business nominations will be verified to ensure they operate within Hanover County and meet the other award guidelines.  The more nominations received, the more chances a business will make to the top 10 for the public voting awards which opens on May 5, 2025.  And as a special incentive to encourage more nominations, individuals who nominate a business in all seven categories will be entered to win a Hanover Economic Development “swag bag” full of local prizes!
