Ramsey is full of wonderful businesses that have done great things <br />in our community. Unfortunately, we can't have more than one winner in a single year and sometimes the <br />achievements and investment that got them nominated originally, or moved to the short list, occurred many years <br />in the past and they weren't selected. Criteria could include setting the maximum years a business can remain on <br />a specific list or, the number of businesses that can be put on the Large or Short Lists.
