New Hope’s 2022 RAVE! Award winners were announced and recognized by the New Hope City Council at its Aug. 22 meeting. 2022 RAVE! Award recipients are:

- Outstanding Gardens: Missy and Tom Mound
- Outstanding Porch/Patio Addition: James and Cristy Siede
- Outstanding Landscaping Features: Regina Pandey

The RAVE! residential property recognition program was developed in 2006 as a way for the City to acknowledge outstanding property maintenance and improvements completed by New Hope residents. The program allows the New Hope City Council to formally recognize and thank residents who have accomplished exceptional property maintenance and improvements while highlighting methods homeowners can use to enhance and improve properties within the city.
The City accepted nominations through July 22, with 16 properties nominated. A volunteer panel of three judges, including city commission members and past winners, toured the properties and selected the winners.
RAVE! Award winners received an engraved stone commemorating the accomplishment and will be recognized on the city’s website and in city publications.
