The Leon County Board of County Commissioners believes that strong and united neighborhoods are the foundation of our community, and Leon County, in collaboration with the City of Tallahassee and the Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA), established the Neighborhood Recognition Program to celebrate the accomplishments and successes of our great neighborhoods.

The Leon County Neighborhood Recognition Program recognizes outstanding neighborhoods in three categories: Small (200 or fewer homes), Large (more than 200 homes), and Unincorporated Area (outside the city limits). Winning neighborhoods will earn up to two signs to display at their entrance and bragging rights for having been selected as Leon County’s Neighborhood of the Year.

This year's winning neighborhoods were announced at CONA's Annual Meeting and Neighborhood Awards Reception, which was held Monday, May 10, at the Mary Brogan Museum of Arts and Science.

Included in the packet is a nomination form for the County Neighbor of the Year Award to recognize individuals who have significantly contributed to the quality of the life within their neighborhoods.
