STATEHOUSE (Sept. 6, 2022) — Several Allen County businesses recently received the Governor’s Half-Century or Century Business awards recognizing their longstanding service in the community, according to State Reps. Martin Carbaugh (R-Fort Wayne) and Dave Heine (R-Fort Wayne)/local legislators.
"Providing products and services that stand the test of time and adapting to marketplace changes is never easy," Carbaugh said. "But through hard work and determination, these businesses persevered."
Carbaugh said these Allen County businesses were among 47 companies and organizations recognized during a ceremony in Indianapolis for remaining in continuous operation in Indiana for at least 50 or 100 years, and demonstrating a commitment to serving the community:
"So many variables go into an accomplishment like this," Heine said. "Happy customers and a solid business plan all play a part. I'd venture to guess all three of these companies also benefited from outstanding leadership along the way. Congratulations to them and their employees for years upon years of a job well done."
These local employers now join the more than 1,200 Hoosier businesses that received this recognition throughout the award's 31-year history.
