CMT 2013 Gives Back Program Burnsville Water Tank Rehabilitated
BURNSVILLE, N.C. (July 23, 2013)
Area Company Donates Project to Community
– The Town of Burnsville is the proud recipient of a newly rehabilitated water tank, thanks to Carolina Management Team (CMT) who completed the project at no cost to the town.
CMT, an industrial paint and protective coatings company, repairs and rehabilitates the water infrastructure of towns and municipalities across the state. To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, CMT wanted to find a way to give back to the communities that have supported the company throughout the years. The result is a new initiative called “CMT Gives Back” that provides deserving communities with infrastructure rehabilitation at no cost. Starting this fall, municipalities across North Carolina will have the opportunity to participate in an application process to be selected as the next beneficiary.
“The Town of Burnsville has truly scored a homerun,” said Burnsville Mayor Danny McIntosh. “CMT approached the town about this program earlier this year with an offer to repair, recoat, and paint the town’s two million gallon water storage tank. The tank was in dire need of work, but because the cost was over $50,000, the possibility of doing the work soon was remote. CMT came to the rescue with their program to give back to our community.”
The refurbished Burnsville tank will be presented to the town at a small ceremony on July 23rd.
CMT is a family business, owned by sister and brother Wendy Banks and David Van Zee, with offices in Asheville and High Point. Giving back close to home was important to them. “Growing up in Western North Carolina, it was very rewarding to help restore and preserve Burnsville’s water infrastructure,” Van Zee said. “It has been a pleasure working with everyone in Burnsville on this project as the inaugural recipient of CMT Gives Back.”
“The town could not be more proud of an imposing structure on water tank hill that has been restored to its original magnificence,” Mayor McIntosh said. “I want to thank all the folks from CMT and the town of Burnsville’s Public Works and Waterworks staff for a job well done.”
