There are many reasons that it’s good to be Morrisville!
"Over the past 4 years, we’ve accomplished a lot together," states Mayor Jackie Holcombe. "Our town is a successful, thriving community that is blessed with a first-class staff, great businesses and organizations and above all,
committed and involved citizens who create a real sense of community. Together, we’re moving Morrisville forward, building on past success. It’s a privilege to lead a community that’s accomplished so many things for our residents".
Just a few of Morrisville's highlights include:
- We listened to the number one concern of our citizens, traffic congestion, and we’ve madesignificant investments in transportation improvements. Transportation bonds were approved by 80% of voters, enabling us to start work on the NC 54 bypass. We established the Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation Funding that I proposed. There’s more to do, butwe’re making real progress.
- We practice sound financial management. We’re the smallest municipality in North Carolina to have a AAA bond rating, and that saves money for taxpayers. We've recently become one of only two municipalities to receive a completely clean audit from Joyce and Co, CPA in their 19 years of business.
- Our parks and recreation facilities continue to expand. After 9 years of talking about a new RTP park, we celebrated the groundbreaking on October 24.
- We’re affirming our community’s identity by establishing an attractive Town Center. This is advancing at a steady pace and it will transform a portion of our town.
- We honor our past by preserving our history. Three historic structures have been named local landmarks, and a fourth one is being considered. We restored the historic Christian Church and we’re restoring the Pugh House, both for the benefit of the public.
- We’re a vital part of our region. We collaborate with our state legislators, county commissioners, regional authorities and the Wake County School Board – and I’ve established relationships with the 11 other mayors in Wake County, serving a term as president of the Wake County Mayors Association.
- People outside Morrisville are recognizing our success: we’ve been named the best place in North Carolina to raise a family and the 7thmost affordable community in the entire nation. We’ve received historic preservation awards every year that I’ve been mayor.
Jackie notes, "I’m running for re-election because I want to
continue our progress. There’s more to do, such as further reducing traffic congestion on our major thoroughfares, adding bus transit service, building a grade-separated railroad crossing, continuing our long-term smart fiscal planning, ensuring responsible growth, expanding facilities and programs for our growing se
nior population, developing a farmers market and gathering places in our town center, and more".
The people of Morrisville are a diverse, welcoming community. We have strong leadership, a great town staff and engaged citizens.
Our future is bright and we’re on the right path.
