Rocky Mount mayor touts transportation, economic growth in speech; public safety still a key issue
On Monday, Mayor Sandy Roberson gave his “State of the City” address, letting the community know where things stand, and where things need improvement.
While there is a lot to be proud of, including more than $15 million economic impact solely based on events held at the Rocky Mount Event Center, Roberson said public safety continues to be his top priority.
“I need your help in supporting Rocky Mount, our neighbors, our businesses, our police force and all first responders, our city workers, and those who need a hand up,” he said. “The prosperity of our community is incumbent on the involvement of everyone.”
