The Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce and the City of Clearwater recognize businesses that make a commitment to improving the quality of life for all residents in Clearwater. The Business Recognition Program exists to honor the uniqueness of Clearwater's many businesses and those that maintain or have made significant improvements to their property, which enhances the community.

Applications also may be delivered to the Municipal Services Building, Neighborhoods Division, 3rd floor. Entries must be received by noon of the following dates:

Celebrate Clearwater Neighborhoods Day

In August 1998, the City Commission endorsed the Clearwater block party program and recommended that citywide block parties occur in Clearwater neighborhoods on a designated day during the spring of each year.

The intent of the program is for neighborhoods throughout the City to hold a neighborhood celebration on one date between the hours of 10 am – 10 pm. During this time, the Mayor, City Councilmembers, City Management and City staff visit the neighborhood parties and speak with residents in a positive and comfortable environment - in their own neighborhood.

The Neighborhoods division assembles block party kits for each neighborhood that include specialized flyers to invite neighbors, party decorations, planning materials, and City of Clearwater promotional materials.

Each year, approximately 80 City representatives visit 20-30 participating neighborhood block parties. Since the event's inception ten years ago, City representatives have met with over 5,000 Clearwater residents.
