"I couldn't be prouder of the work that we've done at the CID,"  said Warbington in the press release. "The recognition from a group of my peers is truly an honor, but I think the real success story here is about an entire community; commercial property owners, business owners, residents and local policy makers, working toward a shared vision of what their community could be. I'm just happy to be a part of that process."
