A delegation of 15 representatives from Pittsburgh/Allegheny County will be visiting Charlotte on June 19-20.

Of particular interest is our experience of consolidating our Park and Recreation Departments and our Police Departments, as well as other smaller functional consolidations. They will also review the City's and County's balanced score card performance management systems.
