“Harnessing the power of local government … is essential for our well-being and for future generations.”
LOCAL GOVERNMENT: THE APPROACH
Sean R. Stegall
Manager & CEO of Cary, North Carolina USA
Sean R. Stegall believes the world can be changed one community at a time by “creating the local government that doesn’t exist.” As Cary, NC’s CEO, he’s a catalyst for change.
With the support of the elected Council, Sean and Cary’s staff are co-creating a new organizational culture that realigns people, processes, and purposes for an ever-changing future. They’re breaking or discarding much of what made Cary great today and replacing it with new ways of thinking and doing – all in an effort to “keep Cary Cary.” That is, to keep Cary at the top of the arc by preparing Cary – the government and the community it serves – for an uncertain future.
“Arcs serve as a personal reminder that it is up to each of us to keep Cary at the top of the arc.”

Featured Case Study
The state of North Carolina owned 92 acres of undeveloped land at the northwest corner of I-40 and Cary Towne Boulevard and decided it wanted to sell this surplus property. At the time, this noteworthy location was one of the largest remaining undeveloped pieces of land in Cary. The property was adjacent to WakeMed Soccer Park and only a mile from downtown. The state-owned property increased Cary’s focus on the importance of proactively planning the remaining greenfield tract to spark high-quality development in the community.
