Firestone Honors Mortons for Leadership
Zadel Realty, First & Longest Running Supporter of CVCR
Firestone residents Rick and Debbie Morton were honored on Dec. 14, 2013, for their efforts in making a significant impact in the community. The award was presented by Firestone Town Manager Wesley LaVanchy and Mayor Chad Auer. The Morton’s dedicated their time to organize a citizen outreach group to identify ongoing sustainability needs and proposed funding solutions for the community.

Town Manager Wesley LaVanchy said, “The Morton’s dedicated a great deal of time and energy to create a vision and impact to make sustainable improvements to our community for generations.”
