Happy August, Everyone!

We started back with newsletters at the end of July. For those who may not have a PO Box, we are working on getting addresses to mail to, but you must own property within the town limits for us to obtain that mailing address information. In the meantime, click here to view the newsletter.

Many exciting things are in the works here in Cooleemee. We have awarded the design of the Community Center to John Fuller Architectural. We have a meeting set with him very soon to start the development of the Center. The hope is that the Center will be placed at the pool site; however, surveys and soil tests can change those plans. We will know soon whether that can be confirmed or if the Town needs to consider relocation options.

The Town is currently conducting its 2023/2024 audit. The process takes about two months or so, but we are moving right along and plan to submit this audit on time this year, thankfully.

We are currently seeking Town residents who are interested in serving the Town in some way. We encourage you to sign up and be considered for the Town Planning Board. This is an appointed position, and terms are typically three years, although they may stagger the first term. It does, in fact, pay $50 per attended meeting. State Statute does require that you reside within the incorporated limits of the Town.

We also have two committees we are seeking assistance with: Town Events and Beautification. You are not required to reside within the Town limits for these committees. These are volunteer-driven committees that can aid in planning and putting on events, as well as having ideas and hands-on work to beautify our Town. Stop by the town office to sign up or for more information.

We received a grant from Davie County Recreation and Parks for painting and repurposing several areas at the parks this year. The main focus will be painting lines on the basketball and tennis courts and turning one tennis court into a pickleball court. We also hope to resurface and paint new lines on the shuffleboard courts.

Our next Town Board meeting will be held on August 19, 2024, at 6 p.m. at 131 Church St, the Zachary House/Town Hall.

I hope everyone has a great remainder of their summer and stays afloat as the rains from Hurricane Debby head our way over the next few days. As always, if you have any Town-related concerns, my office hours and contact information are below. Feel free to reach out.

Thanks!
