Bedford Ambassador Coleman receives citation from Assistant County Administrator Frank Rogers
The Bedford Rotary Club named Buzzy Coleman as its first “Bedford Ambassador” – an honorary recognition instituted to recognize a community member who exemplifies the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self.”
Coleman was recognized, in part, because of his commitment to the Bedford community over the last thirty years. He was instrumental in the formation and success of the Sedalia Center through volunteer time and financial support. Coleman and his company, Coleman-Adams Construction, Inc., contributed thousands of real and in-kind dollars in the construction of the Bedford Area YMCA facility. He was also primarily responsible for the Patrick Henry Girls Home being located in Bedford in 1991 and he contributed to the D-Day Memorial with the funding of the FDR Memorial. In addition, Coleman-Adams headed the following construction projects in Bedford: The National D-Day Memorial, the Bedford Welcome Center, Bedford Elementary School, Lake Vista Corporate Center, Graves Mill Shopping Center, Greenstone Industrial Park, and Little Otter Industrial Park.
At a recent meeting of the Bedford Rotary Club, Coleman was presented with a proclamation from the Bedford County Board of Supervisors and received a gift package from Bedford area businesses.
