PINKHAM NOTCH — Howie Wemyss, the former longtime general manager of the Mt. Washington Auto Road, is the 2020 recipient of the Mt. Washington Valley Economic Council’s Bob Morrell Award for civic entrepreneurship.
Jac Cuddy, executive director of the economic council, saluted Wemyss, noting that while the council won’t be holding an in-person annual meeting this 30th anniversary year, it is producing a yearbook magazine featuring award winners as well as an overview of the council’s efforts over the past year in assisting businesses to meet the challenges wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
