twitterNevada small business person of the year is named
Tuesday, March 22, 2005 | 10:55 a.m.
The Small Business Administration announced today its small business person of the year awards for each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and Guam.
Scott Acton, owner of Trevi Manufacturing in Las Vegas, was the Nevada winner. His company, called Cast in Stone until 2002, creates decorative fountains, planters and statues for homes and gardens using glass fiber reinforced concrete.
Acton will travel to Washington, D.C., to participate in Small Business Week activities and receive his award April 26 to April 28. He also will have a chance to compete for the national small business person award.
The SBA looks at whether the firm meets the SBA's definition of a small business, which is based on financials and the number of employees.
