Lauderhill Wins US Conference of Mayors City Livability Outstanding Achievement Award


The US Conference of Mayors announced today the winners of the 2010 City Livability Award. Ten cities under 100,000 were recognized as winners, 4 Honorable Mention 3rd Place Awards, 5 Outstanding Achievement 2nd Place Awards, and 1 First Place Award.

Lauderhill won a 2nd Place Outstanding Achievement Award for its "Jazz Picnic in the Park" Concert Series. The major point is that the program provides a high quality event with top local performers, yet only costs $1000/performance. Therefore it is easily duplicated elsewhere, and provides a community event at a reasonable price. In fact, the event is becoming so popular that many tourist are attending.

The jazz concert has completed its 2nd season, and the 3rd season will begin in November. For more information about next season go to http://www.lauderhilljazz.com/.
