Bill > J00372

This resolution honors Prominent Coffee Co., a local business in Clarence, for receiving the People's Choice Award from the Clarence Chamber of Commerce. The resolution highlights that the coffee shop, owned by Stephen Szortyka, has been in operation for only one and a half years but has quickly become a beloved community gathering spot. The document emphasizes Szortyka's diverse business background, including 21 years of experience designing haunted attractions and running a marketing agency, as well as his community involvement through nonprofit board service and support of local initiatives like Sweet Buffalo and Be A Blessing Buffalo. The resolution acknowledges the business's contribution to the local economy and community vitality, and officially recognizes Prominent Coffee Co.'s achievement by pausing legislative deliberations to celebrate their success. As a final action, the resolution directs that an official, engrossed copy of the resolution be transmitted directly to Stephen Szortyka.
