CRESTVIEW — Okaloosa County's Public Works Department has earned American Public Works Association's re-accreditation.
Public Works originally gained accreditation, among 68 other agencies, in 2011, and was re-accredited after a review this summer, which also added Facilities Maintenance to the Public Works review process and met accreditation requirements.
"The awarding of the APWA re-accreditation shows we have dedicated ourselves to concepts of improvement and in-depth self-assessment of department policies, procedures and practices," Public Works Director Jason Autrey said.
"The heroes of this prestigious APWA award are the public works staff whose mission is to provide public works services and programs that contribute to making Okaloosa County a great community."
