The 4th annual Family Business Awards of CNY recognizes and honors family owned businesses that are headquartered in Central New York. Family businesses are an integral part of our community, both economically and socially. Many of these firms have been around a long time -- some more than 100 years and run by multiple generations. The time and commitment they have generously devoted to the community and their employees is why we are honoring them this year. They have made a positive impact where they work and live. They are setting the example today and for generations to come. That's how community is built.
