2011 Haas Entrepreneur

of the Year Award

 

Alden Booth and Lissa Greenough named the

2011 Hass Entrepreneur of the Year!

On May 19th 2011 Alden Booth and Lissa Greenough founders of The People’s Pint restaurant and brewery and Gill Tavern, were named the recipients of the first annual Haas Entrepreneur of the Year Award.  John Waite, Franklin County CDC Executive Director, said Booth and Greenough "exemplify many of the traits a community wants in their business people. Their business is as much about delicious food and great beer as it is about community and respect for people and the environment."

Our region depends on small business owners who take the risk to make our communities a desirable place to live and work. “The Haas Award,” noted Business Assistance Director Amy Shapiro, “highlights positive examples of entrepreneurship based on years of hard work, community involvement and success of Dick and Janet Haas, owners of Hillside Plastic founders of Sugarhill Containers.”  The CDC is pleased to have honored Booth and Greenough with the first Dick Haas award, for their hard work, dedication to our community, and entrepreneurial spirit.
