The Georgia Downtown Association has recognized Braselton’s Town Manager, Jennifer Scott, and the town’s Downtown Development Authority with special honors.
Scott was recognized for completing the Georgia Downtown Development program Level I professional certification. Certification requires at least two years of experience, fifty hours of documented training class time, and letters of recommendation. Recipients must undergo an oral and written exam focusing on downtown issues, tools and resources. Since 2007, only 61 downtown professionals in Georgia have achieved the Level I designation.
The town’s Downtown Development Authority was honored with the statewide 2021 Creative New Event award for the town’s ticketed shopping “Bacon Walk.” Each participating business was required to prepare a bacon-inspired treat for shoppers. Results included bacon and chocolate covered pretzels, bacon-wrapped dates, and bacon pralines.
Based in Atlanta, the Georgia Downtown Association is a non-profit association that promotes the economic redevelopment of Georgia’s downtowns.
