We Did It!
What Works Cities Certification evaluates how well cities are managed by measuring the extent to which city leaders incorporate data and evidence in their decision-making to improve residents’ lives.
Norfolk achieved Certification at the Silver level after a yearlong push to reinforce and expand its data practices to complete the What Works Cities’ rigorous certification review.
We're one of only 16 cities to be newly certified this year and one of only 40 cities to be certified since the program was launched in April 2017. Norfolk joins cities including Boston, Memphis and Philadelphia. |
