La Trattoria selected for Larsen Business Award

At the August 17, 2010 meeting, the Lake in the Hills’ Business Relations Committee (BRC) selected La Trattoria Italian Restaurant as the next Gordon Larsen Business Achievement Award winner. The restaurant, located at 9541 Ackman Road, was previously located in another suburb, but was relocated to Lake in the Hills in February 2009 by its owners, who were also Lake in the Hills residents.

The Committee unanimously voted for La Trattoria, as they felt the restaurant captured the essence of the message the Committee has been promoting over the past year – Shop Lake in the Hills. Committee Member Laura Jozwiak stated on the nomination, “The benefit is not only to their growing and loyal customers that are hooked on their freshly made Italian food, but our community also benefits by the additional sales tax and employment opportunities.”

Gordon Larsen Business Achievement Award

Nominations for the Gordon Larsen Business Achievement Award are accepted throughout the year. The award is issued annually by the Village's Business Relations Committee. The business selected gets a feature article in the Messenger newsletter mailed to all Lake in the Hills residents, an article in the Business Insider newsletter, listed on the Business News section of the website and will be recognized in a variety of Village events.
