The Golden Hammer Awards are back for 2015 with a new regional geography, a new category, and online voting open to the public. Do you know of a project that should be nominated?
The Golden Hammer Awards are a celebration and recognition of thoughtful revitalization of Greater Richmond’s neighborhoods. Better Housing Coalition is looking for nominations from across the Greater Richmond area in 4 categories this year: residential, adaptive reuse, new construction and community placemaking.
We’re celebrating our 25th anniversary this year in a big way, and the Golden Hammers are a part of it. On May 21, 2015 the Golden Hammer Awards will be presented at our TransformRVA event at the Omni Hotel. Save the date!

We are casting a wide net and we need your help – we want to reach the widest, most inclusive audience possible: if you’ve seen a neighborhood revitalization project in Greater Richmond (Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield or Hanover) that you think deserves to win a coveted Golden Hammer, jot down the address, snap a photo and send us an e-mail. We’ll reach out to the project partners and ask them to submit!
Contact David Herring at (804)644-0546 x110 or d.herring@betterhousingcoalition.org with questions about the nomination and voting process.

Looking forward to this event and I will definitely be nominating at least one magnificent Church Hill renovation!
Sometimes CHPN.net serves as a forum for expressing dissatisfaction with development that goes on in the neighborhood (and that’s okay) but this is a great opportunity to celebrate and share with each other the renovations and infills that we are most proud of!!!
A lot of great work out there since the last Golden Hammer awards back in the fall of 2013.
@chpn is Calvin old enough to where you automatically connect “golden hammer” to Bob the Builder?
Thanks for picking this up, John! BHC is accepting online applications this year – no more paper application and CD shlepping! Finalists’ projects will be posted on our website for a public voting phase so we’ll be getting the word out on that as soon as we are able.
