••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A Message from the
MAYOR
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Welcome to Waxhaw! As we enter a new year, I’m looking forward to continuing to lead the Town of Waxhaw as Mayor. During my first two years as Mayor, amid a global pandemic and all its challenges, the Board of Commissioners and Town Staff members didn’t slow down. As a team, we worked fervently and successfully to activate plans and initiatives that had been previously discussed but had yet to be put into motion for many years. We know our residents are passionate about infrastructure, a new downtown park, and transparency. We’ve taken strides to improve and have better visibility in each area with a new Land Development Code and a revised Town Master Plan. We launched a new website in 2021, which makes it easier to find information and report concerns, as well as making sure that you can find Waxhaw project updates at any time on the website. Keeping residents involved and engaged in town leadership’s decision-making process is pivotal to my role as Mayor. If you are looking to move to Waxhaw or have just moved here, Waxhaw has much to offer. My wife, Camine, and I love all that our community offers: diverse cuisine partnered with professional business services, a vibrant and growing parks and recreation community, unique shops, and boutiques just to name a few things. As the father of two grown children, I understand the values of family, safety, and planning. I look forward to working together with the Board of Commissioners, the Town Staff, and our residents to create a dynamic, well-managed, beautiful, and sustainable Waxhaw.
