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, 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.

Winners of the Neighborhood of the Year and the Neighbor of the Year awards will be announced on Monday, May 14, 2012, at CONA's 32nd Annual Meeting and Awards Reception, where CONA will also present its annual Public Servant of the Year Award and the Business Neighbor of the Year Award.
