Mocksville is seeking public input on priorities for sidewalk projects.

“Your input will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our community,” said Town Manager Ken Gamble.

During the town’s annual budget retreat, board members committed to launching a new sidewalk project to increase connectivity and accessibility across the town center.

“With funding from the general fund, this initiative marks a significant step towards fulfilling the objectives outlined in our 2019 Comprehensive Plan, which envisions Mocksville as a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly destination for residents and visitors alike,” Gamble said.

The project will focus on four key segments:

• from the roundabout down Wilkesboro Street to Merony Street;

• from Valley Road down Wilkesboro Street through the roundabout to the Senior Center;

• from the roundabout up Yadkinville Road to Walgreens; and

• from Main Street down Milling Road to the Northridge Apartments .

“Your opinion matters,” Gamble said. “We encourage all Mocksville residents, businesses, and stakeholders to participate in ranking these segments according to preferences. Your feedback will guide us in prioritizing which areas to develop first, ensuring that our efforts align closely with the community’s needs and desires.”

Forward comments and 1-4 ranking of the sidewalk projects, with 1 being the one you would like to see the most and 4 the last you would like to see done, to kgamble@mocksvillenc.gov.
