2002 Award for Programs for the Disadvantaged in Memory of Carolyn Keane: Gro Group Project

2002 Award for Programs for the Disadvantaged in Memory of Carolyn Keane (Populations of 50,000 and Under)

ICMA's Program Excellence Award for Programs for the Disadvantaged, established in memory of Carolyn Keane, recognizes a local government that has enhanced the quality of life for the disadvantaged, including homeless citizens and people with AIDS. In 2002, ICMA presented one of two awards in the 50,000-and-under population category to Tarpon Springs, Florida, and City Manager Ellen S. Posivach for the Gro Group Project. Gro Group, a cooperative effort among the city, county school district, and the Florida Native Plant Society, works to provide developmentally disabled adults with vocational and social interaction skills.
