2015 Salute to Excellence Awards
The Eastpointe-Roseville Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the 2015 Salute to Excellence Award recipients. The Chamber, each year for over 40 years, has acknowledged businesses, residents, educators and youth for their dedication and service to the community. Businesses are also honored for redevelopment and/or renovation and for established existence of 25 years or more to the business district community.
