Six East Windsor Businesses Win Award For Community Contribution

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — Six local businesses recently won the East Windsor Township 2019 and 2020 Annual Business Awards, the township announced.

Awardees included Diversified Rack & Shelving, Windsor Castle Apartments, One Mile Self Storage, Novitium Pharma, Kyle Family Farm, and Greenhill Pharmacy.

The East Windsor Business Awards recognize local businesses that make efforts to improve or contribute to the community. The awards were presented by Mayor Janice Mironov.

Diversified Rack & Shelving received the 2019 Business Award for green and sustainable practices. Located on Route 130 North, the family-owned business has been operating since 1990. The company also has a long history of community service, and sponsored many area organizations and programs, including local youth sports teams, Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (CASA) of Mercer County, and donating to local food banks.

Mironov presented the 2019 Business Award to Windsor Castle Apartments for Special Community Contributions and Service. Located on Devonshire Drive, the business partnered with East Windsor Township on an innovative program to create affordable housing and transforming 28 existing units into affordable housing. "The owners have revitalized the residential development resulting in a more attractive complex for our residents,” Mirnov said.

The 2020 Business Award went to One Mile Self Storage for Community Enhancement. The 77,268 square foot facility located on One Mile Road, was configured to fit on a narrow lot and developed with the architectural design to mirror the look of a local farm ensuring the structures blend in with the surrounding properties.

Novitium Pharma won the 2020 Business Award for Community Enhancement. The company specializes in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of generic pharmaceutical products. During the pandemic, Novitium Pharma donated protective personal supplies to township employees and first responders and also supported local organizations.

Kyle Family Farm won the award for Special Community Contributions and Service. Located on a 77-acre family-owned farm on Windsor Perrineville Road since 1998, the business was recognized back in 2013 for its popular produce, farm market, bakery, community events, and support of township programs. During the pandemic, the Kyle Family Farm initiated online ordering and drive-thru service for contactless food pickup for locally grown produce and flowers and then added a ‘Farm to Porch’ delivery option for those unable to leave their homes.

The sixth local business to win an award was Greenhill Pharmacy for Special Community Contributions and Service. The pharmacy opened in 2018 and in 2020 partnered with the township to host several drive-thru flu clinics for senior residents. They also offered free hand sanitizer delivery to residents and provided convenient local service to distribute COVID-19 vaccines.
