It is the mission of Caldwell County government, led by its Commissioners and supported by all of its employees, to provide all residents of Caldwell County: • SERVICES that are basic and necessary, equal economic and educational opportunities, and a decent quality of life • GOVERNANCE that is efficient, equitable, and productive • STEWARDSHIP of all county natural, financial, and human resources, that is stable and beneficial to all, and • LEADERSHIP that is visionary and proactive in ever-changing state, national, and global arenas. Caldwell County`s Mission will secure the County`s rightful place in the 21st Century “Information Age” by building a sustainable community in partnership with our municipalities. We will fulfill this plan by: • providing and supporting an education system which will produce a suitably trained and educated work force with the development of the Career Center High School, Early College High School, and the Appalachian State University Center on the Caldwell Community College & Technical Institute campus. This educational system creates a more seamless delivery to students of all ages. Caldwell County strongly endorses a more rigorous and relevant curriculum that forms the foundation on which we • develop a stable and viable economy of industry, retail, and commerce by utilizing our Economic Development Grant Program. The County acknowledges the challenges of a knowledge-based economy which requires a strong leadership role in all potential economic development projects that will • support job retention and job creation through diversification in new and expanding businesses such that Caldwell County citizens can realize the “American Dream”. The American Dream not only includes home ownership but also a clean and green environment. Development of a bio-mass/alternative fuel initiative will improve the quality of air while the construction of a water reservoir in the Yadkin River Valley will provide a greater abundance of clean water.

Since 2001, the Office of Indigent Defense Services (“IDS”) has overseen legal representation for indigent defendants and others entitled to counsel in North Carolina. Created by an act of the N.C. General Assembly, the organization works daily to make real the Constitution`s right to counsel for those charged with crimes or who face significant deprivations to their liberty. IDS trains, qualifies, and sets performance standards for attorneys, as well as determines the most appropriate and cost-effective methods for delivering legal defense services in each of the state`s judicial districts. It is committed to recruiting North Carolina`s most talented attorneys to represent indigent defendants and to providing those attorneys with the resources they need to be effective. IDS works diligently to anticipate and resolve systemic issues that impact defenders and their clients. For two decades, it has distinguished itself nationally as a leader in the development of innovative, high quality, cost-effective, and accountable indigent defense programs. Many states, including Georgia, Texas and Virginia, have looked to IDS`s example and establishing act for guidance in improving their own defense systems. The organization`s programmatic work includes efforts to increase communication and resource-sharing with the private bar; the development of legal training programs, often in partnership with the UNC School of Government; the establishment of a specialized Office of the Juvenile Defender; and the creation of performance guidelines for appointed counsel across a number of practice areas. IDS also works regularly with the Offices of the Capital Defender and Appellate Defender to recruit and evaluate attorneys for their respective rosters, ensure their appointments in a timely and equitable manner, and to support them with expert services. IDS and its staff are committed to the continued delivery of quality legal services to indigent persons throughout North Carolina.
