GoldenGov: County Executive of the Year
Maria Walls and Beaufort County are incredible examples of how using technology can transform how governments serve citizens. In response to COVID-19, the county was able to add additional services to myBeaufortCounty — its online platform for residents to pay taxes and other fees. Since the platform’s launch in 2016, the county saw a 46 percent increase in online collect year-over-year.
