Background/Discussion
The Beautification Committee was established in March of 2017. From May through October, the Committee
accepts nominations from the public and/or self-nominations and in November they select one finalist for the
award. The award is presented by the EDA President and a member of the Beautification Committee.
On November 16, 2020, the EDA approved and recognized Elk Plaza Dental as the 2020 Beautification Award
recipient for their efforts to enhance the surrounding neighborhood and community. Dr. Hunter has made
significant improvements to the facade of his business and with new landscaping has modernized his building. The
work started late fall and continued even during a COVID-closure of his business. The investment signals his
dedication to making Elk River a better place for business.
