Town Manager Reagan Parsons comments, “What was thought to be a busy 2020 was entirely eclipsed by the activity of the past year. Given what will be recognized by historians as a period of great adversity and challenge, we have experienced aspects of good fortune and persevered throughout. I want to recognize and thank all of our employees for their professionalism and fortitude in showing up daily and serving the residents and visitors of this small corner of the world. Their efforts are visibly evident throughout the community daily. It is particularly worthy of celebration that we were able to gather to close out 2021 and recognize staff, especially those who achieved a five-year increment of service to the Southern Pines community. We offer a special ‘thank you’ to these individuals for their contributions.”
The Town also recognized the five Town employees who retired during 2021: Jerry Bowles and Frank Catena in the parks division of Public Works and Lisa Williams, Chris Coleman, and Rodney Allred from the Police department. Parsons shared, “We wish these individuals all the best as they take their 82 years of service to Southern Pines into the next chapters of their lives. Many were not able to receive a traditional ‘send-off’ due to the pandemic, but their legacies of service and friendship will not soon be forgotten.”
