Steve Hewitt
2009 Governing Magazine Public Official of the Year
When Steve Hewitt took the job as City Administrator for Greensburg, Kansas, in 2006, there was nothing extraordinary about the town of about 1,400 people. Less than a year later, however, everything that was Greensburg was gone. On May 4, 2007, one of the strongest tornadoes on record obliterated almost every house, telephone pole, tree and business in Greensburg, leaving 11 people dead and most of its residents homeless. Determined not only to salvage his hometown, but to recreate a model of energy efficiency and sustainability, Hewitt never considered giving up. Hewitt knew a quick recovery was necessary, but he also understood that careful planning was critical. The plan included land use and placement of buildings and infrastructure, as well as initiatives to attract business opportunities and create new jobs under the decisive goal to rebuild Greensburg as a model green community. The plan included more than 80 different projects totaling $100+ million. He is the leading charge for rebuilding sustainable communities. Hewitt was recently named Governing Magazines 2009 Public Official of the Year; City and County Magazines 2008 Municipal Leader of the Year, for his efforts to rebuild his community green. Greensburgs new policy garnered the support of local, state and national organizations and agencies that promote green building. More publicity has come from the Discovery Channel, including Hewitt as star of the Planet Green Discovery Network show Greensburg. Hewitt continues to advocate green as a true revitalization tool for all rural communities. Hewitt was recently appointed as City Manager for Clinton, Oklahoma.

Murrah Federal Building. This is the story of one of the largest terrorist attacks on American soil. The story is told in chapters, and takes visitors through this historical event beginning early morning April 19, 1995, and ending with a message of hope for today. The Outdoor Symbolic Memorial is a place of quiet reflection. It encompasses the now-sacred soil where the Murrah Building once stood, as well as the surrounding area devastated during the attack. The symbolism of the site can be seen in the Gates of Time, Field of Empty Chairs, Survivor Tree, Reflecting Pool and much more. We encourage the APT US&C attendees to help educate the impact of violence through volunteer opportunities and donations.
