ACCREDITATION

Morrisville’s Public Works Department received written confirmation of Full Accreditation by the American Public Works Association (APWA) on December 22, 2017. Morrisville joins the Town of Garner as one of two accredited Public Works agencies in North Carolina, and one of only 136 in the country. Out of 337 identified practices, 334 received a full com- pliance designation, while the remaining four received substantial compliance. To maintain accreditation, the department will engage in reaccreditation every four years with a formal “check in” every two years.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES LOBBY RENNOVATION

The lobby of the Public Safety Municipal Services Building, primarily used to access the Development Services departments of Planning, Inspections and Engineering, was renovated this quarter. The changes were made to improve functionality and public interaction. The old lobby (left) included a wall and a low counter. The recon- figured space (below) includes a lower ceiling and open counter. The color scheme was changed significantly with paint, flooring, trim, and lighting to create a more welcoming environment.
