VICKI SCROGGINS-JOHNSON

Experienced. Innovative. Practical. Leader.

My name is Vicki Scroggins-Johnson and I'm committed to making your voice heard in Morrisville, North Carolina . I currently serve on the Morrisville Town Council as the District 4 representative. I know first hand the challenges of rapid growth, schools, road networks, public safety, and parks. Morrisville is a thriving and vibrant community in the Triangle region. We need to build for the future with the end in mind.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference-- for our families, our communities, and our region.

THE ISSUES AT HAND

Making a Difference

ROADS, GREENWAYS, & TRANSIT

Connecting our Community

The road and greenway network in Morrisville is a top priority for me. Due to successful advocacy with NCDOT, the Town has secured over $100 million in current and future road projects within Morrisville Town limits. In coordination with Wake County, the first public transit shuttle system will be introduced on October 2, 2021. More work is needed to connect the Town's greenways and sidewalks.

PARKS AND AQUATICS

Space to Play and Relax

Morrisville is home to a wide variety of sports and recreation in both the public and private sector. Morrisville has the first municipal regulation size cricket field in North Carolina. Private facilities include rock climbing, table tennis, hockey, volleyball, and athletic training. With a growing population. Morrisville needs more parks. Active and passive recreation is key to a high quality of life.

THE ENVIRONMENT

The Stakes are High

I am proud to support the first sustainability plan in Morrisville. As of today, the Town has built an excellent stormwater program, transitioned to LED streetlights, and added solar panels to municipal buildings. More work is needed with tree preservation, recycling, waste reduction, and renewable energy.

EDUCATION

For a Better Future

I am pushing for more public school options for Morrisville families. During the 2019-2020 Wake County School Assignment planning cycle, I successfully advocated for more proximate school seats in elementary, middle, and high schools. I later supported the creation of the Morrisville Public Education Advisory Committee (MPEAC). I am also a strong supporter of Wake Tech Community College and the RTP Campus in Morrisville.

WORKFORCE HOUSING

Lowering Barriers

I am truly passionate about workforce housing, as it impacts individuals and families earning 80% or less of the Area Median Income. Housing prices are rising exponentially and it is difficult for many people to now live in the same town they work. The Morrisville Town Council approved an Affordable Housing Policy in 2021. More work is needed to lower barriers.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Quality of Life

I served on the Morrisville Public Safety Advisory Committee since 2008 and as Chair before I joined the Town Council in 2013. With support of the community and town, the Police, Fire, and Public Works have all achieved national recognition for their high quality working standards and projects. As the Town continues to grow, expanded facilities are now needed.
