CharterBank has announced that their “Best Decatur Businesses” promotion is officially open.

“Best Decatur Businesses” began in 2016 when the former Resurgens Bank launched the event introducing themselves to the Decatur community. Since the two banks merged in September, CharterBank felt this was a tradition worth continuing. Not only does the promotion introduce CharterBank, but more importantly recognizes some outstanding businesses serving the citizens of Decatur while also supporting some great noprofits that play a vital role in our community.

Through April 13, 2018, voters can visit charterbk.com/bestdecatur to nominate their favorite local businesses in a variety of categories from dining and professional services to local retailers and designers.

“Decatur is a great place to live and work, and we want to recognize the businesses that help make this community so wonderful and unique,” says Misty Palmer-Claybon, CharterBank – Decatur Branch Manager. “At CharterBank, we’ve been helping businesses grow and prosper for many years so we think showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit of Decatur is a great way to celebrate this community.”

The “Best Decatur Businesses” promotion will highlight the best local entrepreneurs, retailers and professionals. All Decatur-area businesses are eligible for nomination in one of four categories:

Foodies & Brews: The full array of dining and beverage options including casual and fine dining restaurants, coffee shops, taverns, bars, breweries, and dessert, ice cream and yogurt shops.

Goods & Gear: All things retail from local clothing boutiques and specialty shops to jewelers, galleries, bookstores, candy sellers, wine merchants, furniture showrooms and more.

Wisdom & Advice: When you need expert advice, these are the professionals you consult including accountants, auditors, attorneys, financial planners, engineers, IT consultants, management consultants, real estate agents and more.

Builders & Creators: From homebuilders and renovators, to architects, interior designers and landscapers, these visionaries help you turn your dreams into reality.

Winners of CharterBank’s “Best Decatur Businesses” promotion will be announced on April 24th. Winners in each category will receive a $1,000 prize to be donated on the company’s behalf to the Decatur-based non-profit organization, 501(c)(3), of their choice.
