Off the Grid Organic Winery is up for the Environmentally Sustainable Business award.

Greater Westside Board of Trade on Thursday revealed the finalists for its 21st annual Key Business Awards.

The chamber of commerce received more than 200 nominations from businesses, non-profits and individuals, and now the field has been trimmed to two, three or four finalists in each of the 12 categories.

“As president for the Greater Westside Board of Trade, I am filled with gratitude everyday to be able to elevate and celebrate our business community,” Greater Westside president Amber Hall said in a press release. “Each nominee brings value to the community that sets us apart, and demonstrates ingenuity, dedication and collaboration. 

“Demonstrating the commitment to delivering excellence in every interaction that each of you make, is one of the many reasons I love the opportunity to celebrate you all each year. Each nominee should be proud to have been recognized in their field.”

The winners will be announced when the organization conducts its awards celebration on Thursday, Feb. 23, at The Cove Lakeside Resort.

Tickets for that event are available for purchase here.
