The LivCom Awards have been given and Hoover Alabama has been awarded internationally!
What are the LivCom Awards?
Taken from their site..."The
LivCom Awards were launched in 1997 and are endorsed by the United
Nations Environment Programme. LivCom is the world’s only Awards
Competition focusing 
on
Best Practice regarding the management of the local environment. The
objective of LivCom is to improve the quality of life of individual
citizens through the creation of ‘livable communities’." To learn more about it, you can visit their site, LivCom Awards
What awards did Hoover Alabama win?
First, let me note that awards is plural. Hoover Alabama did not just win one award in their international process, it won two. Hoover competed against other cities internationally with populations of 20,001 to 75,000. First, it won the silver award in the whole city competition for being a "livable community." Second, for environmentally sensitive practices, Hoover won the bronze award.
Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos noted that, "I think it was our parks system, our school system and without question what we're doing with alternative fuels because we are a leader not only in Alabama but throughout the country in alternative fuels..."
