On October 1, 2026, APWA Florida Chapter President Tom Pugh, PE, was pleased to present the North Port Department of Public Works with a plaque recognizing their full accreditation granted by the Accreditation Council for APWA.

Accreditation is the mark of professionalism indicating a public works agency has made the commitment to continuous improvement in the delivery of public works operations and services in the community it serves. Accreditation recognizes an agency’s policies, procedures and practices which have been evaluated against nationally recognized management practices determined to be appropriate for that specific agency.
