Polk County Supervisor Angela Connolly has won a national leadership award from the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations.

Connolly was recognized for her role in three high-profile planning efforts: The Tomorrow Plan, Capital Crossroads and DART Forward 2035.

“This is an incredible honor and certainly one I never anticipated,” Supervisor Connolly said. “There are hundreds of people who have committed their creativity, passion and hard work to develop these plans — and then put them into action, improving the lives of tens of thousands of residents.”
