Team Orange,
I ’ d like to take the opportunity to recognize an Orange County department that has much to celebrate and much to look forward to. While not one of the most visible departments to the public, it is nonetheless a very critical one to keeping the rest of us up and running. I ’ m speaking of Orange County Public Works. Just a couple of weeks ago, Public Works initiatives earned a pair of Virginia Association of Counties Achievement Awards. First, they were recognized for a training program that supported continuing education and skills development for employees (and members of the community). Next, Litter Control, a committee housed under Public Works, received an award for their Plastic Film Recycling efforts! We are starting to see a trend of winning multiple awards annually due to the creativity and innovation of our team members. Speaking of recycling and waste disposal, residents should mark their calendars for the upcoming Free Tire Disposal and Hazardous Waste Collection events (also Public Works - related efforts). See pages 10 - 12 for more details about how to participate. Our Public Works Team has been evolving over the past few years to become more innovative and service oriented. They work every day to support the community and all the rest of our departments by maintaining our facilities and grounds so that we can deliver services to our citizens. And now they can add the superlative “ award - winning ” to their name. Way to go!
