Ted ’ s Talk
Teamwork is our theme of the month! In this issue of the OCI you will learn about several achievements our team recently accomplished, as well as two national recognitions for our work! We also recap our progress with the Cultural Initiative. The Economic Development and Tourism team won a National Association of Counties (NACo) Achievement Award for the Edna Lewis Menu Trail project! This project has resulted in at least 20 articles promoting our community as a tourism destination in publications such as Southern Living, Garden and Gun, The Washington Post Travel section and most recently, Smithsonian Magazine! Orange County ’ s multi - year broadband project also earned a NACo Achievement Award for our implementation and startup of FiberLync service! As of June 2nd, FiberLync has placed 329.92 miles of fiber on a total of 466 roads! We now have 4,052 customers with high - speed Internet service. Stay tuned for the July OCI as we have another award to announce that is under wraps for a few more weeks. (Hint, hint, it highlights our digital transformation in support of the Board ’ s “ Digital Citizen Initiative! ”) The dedication of our organization to its mission is noteworthy. Pages 2 - 4 outline the work our colleagues have put into the Cultural Initiative over the last couple of years. We ’ ve accomplished a lot! Together we created a road map to success and are well on our way. If you are interested in participating in the process, please reach out to Human Resources.
Thank you for all you do, and stay safe as you enjoy the summer!
