Mayor and Board of Commissioners
The Mayor and Board of Commissioners work together to lead the Town of Parkton and guide its long-term vision.
The Mayor presides over meetings, represents the town at official functions, and ensures local government operates smoothly and transparently.
The Board of Commissioners serves as the town’s primary governing body, responsible for setting policies, adopting the budget, passing ordinances, and making decisions that support community services, public safety, and local development.
Together, the Mayor and Commissioners work to protect Parkton’s small-town character while planning for a strong and sustainable future.
