Golden Hammer Nominees

There are two nominee projects in the neighborhood for the A.C.O.R.N. 2010 Golden Hammer Awards.

The Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods initiated the Golden Hammer Awards in 2000 to thank and recognize those who had rehabilitated blighted properties in Richmond’s oldest and most neglected communities, bringing new life to the individual buildings– thereby promoting the revitalization of their surroundings. As improvements were made, the results inspired others; and the number of renovations increased until it was great enough to bring several neighborhoods back from total decay.
