Tom Heimsoth is the winner of the 2021 Leo Parkerson Award.
He was given the award at the Ottawa Area Chambers annual dinner at Starved Rock Lodge.
Executive Director for the chamber Jeff Hettrick says Tom’s vision to create plus his business skills to build Heritage Harbor were just a few reasons he won.
Hettrick says that Heritage Harbor is still a work in progress but it’s teaming with new construction, new boat slips and new people.
Some other people who won awards were Ottawa Economic Development Director Dave Noble and Donna Reynolds from the Ottawa Visitors Center.
