City and Fort Bragg Partner for Inaugural All American
Marathon, Mike-to-Mike Half Marathon
The All-American Marathon and Mike-to-Mike Half Marathon, a partnership between the City and Fort
Bragg, will be held May 4, 2014. The event will start in downtown Fayetteville at Festival Park, a four acre
concert/entertainment complex. Racers will run up Ray Avenue to Hay Street, where they will run through the
heart of historic downtown Fayetteville past the Market House. The route will then take runners up past the
N.C. Veterans Park and the Airborne and Special Operations Museum, which is the home to the historic Iron
Mike Statue.

City Makes Southern City Publication for Sidewalks
The City recently received praise from the North Carolina League of
Municipalities' Southern City newsletter. The article said that
Fayetteville has made significant progress to improve walkability,
installing 13 miles of sidewalk in the past five years. Engineering &
Infrastructure Director Rusty Thompson is quoted in the article, which
highlights Fayetteville's growth from pedestrian commuters from 1.7 to
5.4 – a number that, according to Governor Magazine, is the largest increase among the nation's large cities.
Thompson, who was City Traffic Engineer before becoming Engineering & Infrastructure Director, has been
vital to the addition of sidewalks in Fayetteville. He and his staff have been creative, utilizing funding from
Safe Routes to School, FAST New Freedom and the N.C. Department of Transportation to install sidewalks in
downtown and in neighborhoods surrounding schools.

City Offers Stormwater Fee
Incentive Program
Commercial, industrial and multifamily property
owners in Fayetteville may be credited a portion
of their City stormwater fee if they manage their
stormwater runoff through onsite water quality or
quantity structural Best Management Practices. Some
owners may be eligible to receive as much as an 80
percent fee credit if they meet one, two or all of three
requirements.
Requirements include:
• Having an onsite stormwater detention or retention
pond that reduces the quantity of stormwater runoff
• Having an onsite Best Management Practice (BMP)
that reduces the impact of pollution on water quality
and meets the design and maintenance standards in
the City of Fayetteville's Stormwater Control
Ordinance
• Being classified as industrial and is covered by
either an individual or general National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) industrial
permit.
In order to receive the fee credit, owners must apply
for the incentive by April 15 and have a completed,
functioning stormwater facility. Facilities must be
designed and certified by a professional engineer
licensed in N.C. To ensure that the engineer is
licensed, owners can log onto www.ncbels.org
and go to license lookup.
To apply for the incentive, stop by the Engineering
& Infrastructure desk on the first floor of City
Hall, located at 433 Hay Street, or go to www.
cityoffayetteville.org/stormwater, click on "All
Stormwater Related Downloads," then "Stormwater
Credit Manual for City Users." For more
information, contact Stormwater at 433-1613.
