Welcome to Hope Mills As Mayor of our Township, I would invite you to visit our historic mill village. Our schools are some of the best in the state, not only in academics, but in extracurricular and athletic opportunities for all students as well. Our youth programs are exemplary because of our town’s Parks and Recreation Department partnership with our county schools in sharing facilities and programs. Our library, walking path, and community center are conveniently located. Safety and security is a top priority-we are proud of our Fire and Police Departments along with the support our town government appropriates to promote their services. Our rapid growth has brought new shopping areas, a state of the art theater facility, restaurants, and businesses to meet the demands of more citizens. I encourage you to take a close look at our small town if you are relocating to our area. I am proud to be the Mayor of Hope Mills! Sincerely, 16 www.upandcomingweekly.com Up & Coming Weekly’s
