Manager’s Corner

Spring and Summer bring out the best in Mocksville. The Town is committed to providing family-friendly opportunities to enjoy downtown events, including the 20th Annual Daniel Boone Festival on Saturday, May 2nd, and the Farmers' Market opening on May 6th. We can’t forget the beginning of downtown Cruise-In’s, the first Monday of each month as well. Mocksville can add the title “home” baseball team beginning in May. The Davie Crocketts college-age baseball team will call Mocksville’s Mando field home for the summer. What a great opportunity to enjoy America’s favorite pastime with friends and family.

I am pleased to [...]

The Town will become [...]

You may have noticed some improvements to downtown sidewalks in 2023. The Town started a pilot project with Precision Safe Sidewalks to determine if their process of precisely cutting away trip hazard imperfections was more effective and less expensive than cutting away and re-pouring entire sidewalk segments. The test area was on Main Street in the business district and N. Main Street in the residential district and included 202 identified hazards. The Town received overwhelmingly positive resident feedback for addressing trip hazards and only spent $13,799 rather than the $50,916 cost to replace the problem segments. The FY24-25 Budget included a [...]
