Nominations Open for Orange’s Small and Large Business of the Year

The community has a chance to recognize local businesses making a difference as the Orange Chamber of Commerce begins accepting nominations for Small Business and Large Business of the Year.

Residents are invited to nominate businesses they believe contribute to the city not only through their services, but through community involvement, charity efforts, and local engagement. The awards distinguish between smaller companies with 50 employees or fewer and larger organizations with more than 50 employees.

To qualify, nominees must have been operating for at least two years and demonstrate a commitment to supporting the Orange community. The recognition celebrates businesses that go beyond everyday operations and actively invest time and resources back into the city.

Nominations are open through Tuesday, February 17 at 11:59 p.m., giving community members an opportunity to highlight the shops, restaurants, and companies that help shape Orange’s local character.

Programs like this spotlight the businesses that make Old Towne and the surrounding neighborhoods feel vibrant and welcoming. For many residents, it’s a chance to thank the places they visit every week — and the people behind them who help keep Orange connected and thriving.
