Happy Fall Cooleemee and Neighbors,

We hope this November update finds you well.

Firstly, the leaf pickup service starts tomorrow. Residents within the Town Limits can place their leaves at the curb or edge of the roadway for pickup every Tuesday morning from now through January 14, 2025. Leaves will not be picked up on Tuesday, December 24 (Christmas Eve) and Tuesday, January 7 (Christmas tree pickup.)  

The Town’s first Planning Board meeting in about two years was a success, and we are very thankful for the folks we have serving in those positions. We still have an opening if you are someone you know living inside Town Limits who is willing and available. The meetings usually take place once a quarter or as needed and allow you to have further input in some directions the town is moving. This board greatly appreciates this community and values input from all over, but this would be an opportunity to take that a step further.

The River Park started its winter hours on November 1 and is open Friday – Saturday – Sunday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission is free during the winter months; just keep in mind staffing is very limited, so remain safe and carry a phone. 

The Town has decided to surplus and auction off the two aluminum car sheds next to the Zachary House and tennis courts. If you or someone you know are interested, sealed bids are being accepted at Town Hall or can be mailed to PO BOX 1080 Cooleemee, 27014. If you bring one by or mail it, please write Car Shed Bid on the envelope so we know not to open it until the appropriate date. Bids must start at $500 per shed and must be received on or before November 15, 2024, at 4:00 P.M.

THANK YOU to those who came out to Cooleemee Halloween and to those who participated by passing out candy at their houses. I saw so many kids walking around Cooleemee this year! It was an amazing feeling seeing that pick back up. A huge shoutout to the Fire Department and the Shopping Center Boutique, DK Lavish, for their events, as well.

Some important dates in November to remember:

• Town Hall will be closed on Monday, November 11, for Veterans Day, and again on Wednesday, November 27-Friday November 29, for Thanksgiving. We will reopen on Monday, December 2.
• The next Town Board meeting will be held on November 18, 2024, at 6 p.m. at Town Hall/Zachary House 131 Church St. Cooleemee, 27014.

I hope you all have a wonderful upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday; I am excited to see the Christmas lights start lighting up soon around Town. If you need anything, Town Hall contacts are below.

Thank you all!
