Mayor Nock: "It is about restoring pride in our community.."
(From Mayor Todd J. Nock's Facebook page)
There was a time when Pocomoke City was known as one of the most beautiful towns on the Eastern Shore. People took pride in their homes, their neighborhoods, and their community. I believe we can get back to that standard, but it will take all of us working together.
Over the past several weeks, I have spent time riding through our neighborhoods, and it is clear that we have work to do. This week, I am calling for a full-court press on code enforcement across the city.
Two city employees have been assigned to each district to document code violations. Residents with violations will receive a notice at their property, and a letter will also be mailed outlining what needs to be corrected.
This is not about targeting anyone. It is about restoring pride in our community and protecting the appearance, safety, and value of our neighborhoods.
We can invest in new projects, recruit businesses, improve our parks, and attract visitors, but if our city is not well maintained, we are only addressing part of the challenge. A beautiful city is everyone’s responsibility.
Pocomoke City has a proud history. We were once known as one of the most beautiful towns on the Eastern Shore, and there is no reason we cannot earn that reputation again. The City will do its part, and I am asking every resident to do theirs.
Together, let’s make Pocomoke shine.
