As a long-time resident of Mocksville, let me say what an absolute honor it is to serve the community I love as Town Manager. I look forward to working with the town staff to continually improve our services while being mindful of expenses.
The Mocksville Board of Commissioners adopted the 2025-2026 Budget on June 3, 2025. This budget continues an incremental focus on achieving the Town’s Vision Statement: The Town of Mocksville will effectively balance its historic roots and values with the need to revitalize, renew, and modernize the Town for the benefit of all its citizens. The Town will become a leading destination for safe and sustainable residential, commercial, and industrial development with a vibrant downtown district.
The budget will reestablish an annual street paving and maintenance program, continue pedestrian-friendly sidewalk projects that connect people to downtown, and update the Town’s Comprehensive and Land Use Plan. These initiatives will be sensitive to ensuring thoughtful, incremental, and cost-effective growth.
One specific area of focus will be on our downtown area. Our team will work to provide the commissioners with recommendations to consider a downtown master plan, which will drive decision-making for future investments. We are so fortunate to have a thriving downtown area, but we need to remain vigilant to provide an ongoing atmosphere for the private sector to flourish.
Finally, Mocksville water and sewer customers will see an increase in rates. There are increasing state and federal requirements that require ongoing maintenance and capital investments for our system. Please know the town staff works diligently to find ways to keep costs down.
I am committed to being available to listen and learn. My email address is lrollins@mocksvillenc.gov, and my direct office telephone is 336-753-6701.
Yours in public service,
H. Lee Rollins | Town Manager
