It is with both sadness and congratulations that I am announcing Steve Corriher will be resigning his position of Town Clerk and Finance Officer to accept a new opportunity with Lowe’s effective August 4, 2025. Sadness in that we are losing a tremendous asset to the town with Steve’s departure, and congratulations that he will be moving to a great opportunity for him and his family.

Steve has always had a great love for the Town of Cooleemee. In addition to his current role as Town Clerk and Finance officer, he has served terms as the Mayor of Cooleemee. In those roles he has served on many boards and worked with the other municipalities, the county, and the state. Steve’s experience in all these areas has helped the town work through some difficult times. Steve will be working part-time as we go through the process of replacing him.

On a personal note, Steve has been a tremendous help to me in my role as mayor. His knowledge and experience along with his willingness to share those with me and the commissioners has helped make things run much smoother for our town.

Please join me in thanking Steve for all he has done and continues to do for Cooleemee, and wish him well in his new opportunity.

Jeff Smith
Mayor of Cooleemee
