PASCO COUNTY – From filling potholes to cleaning coastlines, Pasco County’s Public Works team keeps the community running smoothly – so much so that it has earned national recognition.
The American Public Works Association has accredited Pasco County’s team. Pasco is only the seventh of Florida’s 67 counties to achieve this honor.
“This is transformational for Pasco County Public Works,” Director Jason Mickel said. “This APWA accreditation confirms the department has implemented the necessary tools and requirements to help us maintain the infrastructure that everyone in Pasco relies on every day.”
The accreditation requires departments to meet high standards in operations, planning and service delivery. It opens the door to top-tier education and training programs, along with access to a national network of public works professionals sharing the latest technologies and management strategies.
Assistant County Administrator Branford Adumuah launched the three-year accreditation journey during his previous tenure as public works director.
“This is an outstanding accomplishment for our public works team,” Adumuah said. “It’s an in-depth process, and we’re incredibly proud of our team’s commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in making Pasco County a great place to work and live.”
Pasco’s APWA accreditation is valid for four years, with semiannual updates required to ensure ongoing compliance and continued excellence.
