Bill > J01162

This resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of Boulevard Diner, a family-owned restaurant in Whitesboro, New York, founded by Rich and Roxanne Grimaldi on April 19, 1995. The resolution highlights the diner's growth from a small business with four employees to a thriving establishment with over 25 team members, while maintaining its commitment to community, quality food, and warm service. It celebrates the Grimaldi family's entrepreneurial spirit, noting how their sons Rich Jr. and Michael have continued the family legacy by joining the business after college. The resolution emphasizes the diner's significant community impact, including its loyal staff (with many employees staying 3-5 years or more), multiple renovations including a 2019-2020 expansion that added a Bake Shop, and its role as a community anchor. The legislative body formally recognizes the Grimaldi family's dedication, commitment to excellence, and contribution to the local community, and resolves to commemorate their 30 years of success by transmitting an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to Boulevard Diner.
