Do you know a Sierra Vista business that deserves recognition? Now is your chance to help the City share some great business news! Use the following form and submit your nomination.

Qualifications for consideration:

Businesses must be located in the City of Sierra Vista, not within a County enclave.  Businesses must have an active City business license and be in good standing with the City (no outstanding taxes or fees).  Only for profit businesses will be considered at this time. 

Who may nominate:

Business owners, residents, and elected officials are welcome to nominate a business for consideration.  Members of the Sierra Vista Economic Development Commission may not nominate a business for consideration.

Staff review and approval

At the close of the nomination window on July 12th, City staff will sort the nominations and verify that the qualifications for consideration are met.  Staff will then turn the nominations over to the Economic Development Commission for review and selection.
