A Message from the Mayor

Moore Flag Back - Copy - CopyMayor David Moore

Welcome!

Welcome to the City of Mount Holly's website! We are so glad you are here. 

Nestled on the banks of the Catawba River, less than twenty minutes from downtown Charlotte, you will find our charming city, where we embody our motto, "Connecting Community and Nature". From our vibrant downtown murals to inviting parks, greenways, and eateries, we showcase our historic character and love of our community and citizens. 

I am fortunate to be a lifetime member of this community and know firsthand how special our city is and all it has to offer. We have a rich history and unique cross-section of thriving businesses. Our prime location creates an engaging environment that makes us desirable for day and overnight stays. Additionally, we offer city-wide programming and events for youth, seniors, and families, including our Mount Holly Nights concert series, SpringFest, annual firework display, and seasonal Yule Love Mount Holly festivities. Our community prides itself an offering something for everyone while being a safe place to raise a family, live, work, and play. 

Our historic Main Street district highlights current economic growth in our city as we build strong partnerships and relationships to revitalize this historic area and promote growth and positive community development. Currently, our main street offers multiple retail and boutique shopping options, diverse restaurant options, a bookstore, a coffee shop, and more. We are also home to an ever-growing and extremely talented Arts community. 

Our City continues to follow the guidance of our Strategic Vision Plan. Under its guidance, we look forward to our continued development of our downtown and municipal spaces, parks, recreation resources, and infrastructure. 

Mount Holly offers competitive and divers housing, work, and educational options for young families, established professionals, and retirees looking to plant their roots. Our public schools have recently received funds and awards from our Governor, supporting their efforts to prioritize students and their commitment to excellence. 

Above all, Mount Holly is a special place where we care about our hometown and want what is best for our city and community. Our citizens are our greatest asset, and we encourage you to learn about and to engage with our people and places. Connecting with our local nonprofits is a great way to join in on all our city has to offer. 

Visit the Community Engagement resource page to learn more about our local groups, and how our resources can help you! 

Or, of course, feel free to contact me or any of our council members directly. 

I am honored to be the Mayor of Mount Holly. 

David Moore
