Fate, TX (November 6, 2023) – Winners of the 2023 President’s Awards Program were announced in Nacogdoches in conjunction with the Texas Downtown Annual Conference. For over 35 years the awards program, sponsored by Texas Downtown (TXDT), has recognized outstanding projects, places, and people of Texas downtowns. The President’s Award was developed by Texas Downtown in 1986 to recognize outstanding projects, places and people that contribute to downtowns across the state. There are two themes, Design and Achievement, which are judged by different industry experts.
