34 Cool Cities

It's not just Rocky Mount joining the Cool Cities party this week.

Snow Hill and Davidson bring the total in North Carolina to 34.

We're particularly pleased with the leadership of Snow Hill and Rocky Mount because it's a sign the program is picking up steam in eastern North Carolina. We now have five Cool Cities in the region, as these two join Greenville, Oak City, and Surf City. We have three more coastal cities seriously considering it right now too! Thank you to Mayor Don Davis and the town of Snow Hill for its leadership.

Davidson becomes the first Cool City in Mecklenburg County. We hope it will pave the way for other successes in the county. There has been a great flourish of activity recently in the Charlotte/Mecklenburg region with Indian Trail, Concord, Cherryville, Lincolnton, and now Davidson signing on. Thank you to Mayor Stultz in Gastonia and Mayor Kluttz in Salisbury for leading the way in their region.

Will we have 40 Cool Cities in North Carolina by the end of 2007? Stay tuned to find out!
