Mooresville, N.C., Mayor Miles Atkins
In Mooresville, N.C. (2013 population: 34,887), the city is working to keep up with expanding needs. “Our biggest overall budget challenge is how to balance the needs of the internal organization (departments) with the needs of the community and outside organizations, while also managing long-term debt,” says Mayor Miles Atkins. He tells GPN: “In a growing community like Mooresville, revenues cannot keep up with the needs and services.”
The mayor says a budget concern he faces is how to meet transportation and traffic needs in his community. “We are spending local bond funds on state-maintained roads to make improvements at key intersections.”
