Ole Awards

The Ole Awards are given to businesses or organizations that have completed either new construction or building renovations in Batavia. The recipient in each category below should be a business or organization whose investment enhances the city’s economic and aesthetic future, and provides interest and excitement for the entire community.

Ole Awards are given in each of two categories: Commercial Construction and Industrial Construction. The categories are defined by the City of Batavia’s zoning codes.

In each category, there are awards for new construction and renovation. The award for new construction goes to the developer or owner who invests in a building that is completely new (i.e., new walls and roofs are part of the project). Renovation awards go to the developer or owner who invests in a building that already exists (i.e., walls and roofs are already in place).

Recommendations for the Ole Awards will be submitted to the Chamber Board of Directors for final approval after the Ole Awards Committee evaluates all those businesses who received final building permits from the City of Batavia. Decisions are based on the following criteria:

  • Investor risk inherent in the project
  • Potential return of the investment on the local economy (“Community ROI”)
  • Perceived aesthetic value
