Downtown Mocksville has been a long-time gathering place for families and friends. We are fortunate that the Town Commissioners continue to invest in infrastructure improvements, such as mast arm poles for stoplights, new streetlights, sidewalk improvements, and streetscape improvements in front of and across the courthouse, among others. New investments have been made with the expansion of restaurants and shops. We now understand that the former American Café, located beside The Factory Coffee House, will be transformed into a new restaurant.
With growth and new capital investments comes a responsibility to strategically plan for future infrastructure investments. I am pleased to inform you that we have begun the process to create Mocksville’s first Downtown Master Plan. In the coming months, there will be numerous opportunities for the public to provide feedback. We want this to be your plan…stay tuned and engaged.
In tandem with the Downtown Master Plan, Mocksville will also update its 2019 Comprehensive Plan. I continue to hear from residents about the concerns of residential growth and traffic. I also hear residents tell me they want more restaurants and more recreational activities. We will work with you, the residents, and our Commissioners to take those concerns and desires and work to come up with short-term, mid-term, and long-term strategies to ensure Mocksville remains one of the best small towns in North Carolina.
I am committed to being available to listen and to learn.
