"BRINGING THE BEST OF NORTH CAROLINA TO YOUR FRONT DOOR"
Doug Linkhart, National Civic League President, shared "We are proud to name Morrisville a 2026 All-America City. What stood out in their application and presentation was not just what they have accomplished, but that they did so by putting residents in charge of shaping their community's future. Morrisville is a model of what civic health looks like in practice: neighbors building trust across difference, institutions opening doors to real participation, and a community that has chosen to face its challenges together. That is exactly the spirit America's 250th anniversary calls us to celebrate."
Morrisville pairs rapid growth with intentional investments in engagement, transparency, and community well-being. Its residents helped shape a new generation of digital tools, from an upgraded website and interactive strategic plan dashboard to Morris the Cricket, an AI chatbot featuring video answers from Town staff and council members.
Morrisville also nurtures civic leadership through Morrisville 101, a hands-on program that introduces residents and students to the realities of local government, creating a pipeline that has carried graduates onto advisory committees and even elected office.

In June 2026 the Town of Morrisville was recognized as one of ten All-America City Award winners. The National Civic League presented this honor to recognize Morrisville's work to create a thriving and welcoming community where trust and belonging are abundant.
Communities from across the country were invited to submit applications showcasing their efforts that not only strengthen civic life and rebuild trust but also address pressing challenges and lay the foundation for a better future.
The field was eventually narrowed to twenty finalists and over the last weekend in June, representative of the finalists traveled to Denver, Colorado, where they connected and shared insights with peers, learned from national thought leaders, and presented their work to a jury of nationally recognized civic leaders.
After careful deliberation, the jury selected ten winning communities, including Morrisville, North Carolina.
