The Department of Public Works initially achieved accreditation through the American Public Works Association (APWA) in May 2014.  Retaining accreditation requires a midterm review every two years and a thorough reaccreditation assessment every four years. 
 
The Department of Public Works earned reaccreditation status in June 2022.  Mr. Robert Garland, APWA Regional Director, will provide a presentation to highlight the accreditation program and the benefits accreditation provides to the City of North Port.
