Budgeting for Mocksville’s Future

2024-12-27T14:06:55-05:00

I have fond memories as a young adult of saving money from my part-time jobs for things my parents could not afford. This meant giving up my dream sports car, name-brand clothes, attending college away from home, and other things I may have had an immediate desire to have to reach my goal. Back in 1984, that goal was to find a full-time corporate administrator job with a college education program that would allow me to attend at night. It took 3 ½ years to obtain my B.S. Business Degree and years of hard work to pay the loan back. I [...]

It’s official - I am now a senior citizen! Believe it or not, I have reached the age where I can now join the Davie County Senior Center.

Sidewalk Improvements in The Works

2024-10-07T19:24:46-04:00

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 [...]
