Unsung Hero Award

The purpose of the Unsung Hero Award is to recognize annually a Town employee who works  “behind the scenes” often without recognition, but whose hard work, dedication, and “can-do” attitude have a meaningful impact on the work of other employees and/or the experience of residents and other constituents.  Please join us in congratulating this year’s Unsung Hero, Curtis Johnson, Staff Engineer.
