OSWEGO — Operation Oswego County (OOC) announced that it recently presented its 2017 Dee Heckethorn Entrepreneur Award to Allen Chase in recognition and appreciation of “exceptional entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and dedication to fostering the growth and development” of Allen Chase Enterprises, Inc.
Allen Chase Enterprises is a commercial outdoor maintenance provider for plowing, landscaping, herbicide application, and mechanical vegetation removal, OOC said in a news release. The business was “transformed” from a garage-based startup in 2001 to a fleet of more than 70 specialized equipped vehicles and 72 employees located in the town of Scriba.
The award recognizes Allen Chase for providing services to public and private sector customers across New York state, Pennsylvania, and beyond; for achieving annual sales growth of more than 35 percent per year since 2014; and for his vision, commitment, and focus on operating a “very successful business” in Oswego County. The OOC presented him the award at its annual meeting in June.
