Will Hutchinson, a technology whiz in the city engineering department, was honored Thursday night as the 2021 MVP of the year for his development of a city app that allows people to report non-emergency problems such as potholes, litter and traffic problems.

Hutchinson developed the citizen reporter app, collaborated with other city departments to develop categories and workflow for response and assisted with a video and marketing of the service. The achievement was recognized at a North Carolina Geographic Information System conference and touted as a model for other cities.
