Connecticut Main Street Center established The Connecticut Light and Power Company Award in 2001 to recognize organizations and individuals who dedicate themselves to promoting an awareness of the necessity of a comprehensive management approach to the revitalization of Connecticut’s Main Streets.
The award is named for its first recipient, The Connecticut Light and Power Company, which launched the State’s Main Street program in 1995. CL&P still stands as the only private corporation in the country to solely sponsor and administer a statewide Main Street initiative.
Jeffrey D. Butler announces the recipient of the 2011 CL&P Company Award for Outstanding Contributions to Main Street Revitalization to WNPR / Connecticut Public Radio for Where We Live. Accepted by WNPR’s John Dankosky.
