URNSVILLE, N.C. (July 23, 2013) – The Town of Burnsville is the
proud recipient of a newly rehabilitated ground water storage tank,
thanks to Carolina Management Team (CMT) who completed the
project at no cost to the town.
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 in 2014, 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 was presented to the town at a small
ceremony on July 23

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.”
Siblings Wendy Banks and David Van Zee own Carolina Management
Team, (CMT) a concrete repair and protective coating company that
repairs and rehabilitates water and wastewater infrastructure of
towns and municipalities across the state.
