The Richardson City Council created the Community Revitalization Awards to recognize property owners who have enhanced the community by making significant exterior improvements to their properties, which have, in turn, had a positive impact on the surrounding area.

Both residential and non-residential projects are eligible for consideration. Nearly 350 properties have been recognized since the Program’s inception in 1994. Traditionally, recipients are recognized by the City Council with a reception and award presentation ceremony held in February of each year.

The 2024 Community Revitalization Awards received eighteen (18) nominations with three (3) non-residential and nine (9) residential projects receiving recognition.

The 2024 Community Revitalization Awards presentation to the City Council was held during the February 10, 2025, City Council meeting.
