City of Pocomoke City

The response has been incredible—thank you!

We're amazed by the amount of interest and support we've already received for the possibility of bringing CDL training closer to home through a partnership with Wor-Wic Community College.

If you've been thinking about a career in commercial driving but haven't reached out yet, there's still time! We're continuing to gauge community interest as we explore this exciting opportunity.

Reaching out does not commit you to enrolling in a future program. It simply lets us know you're interested and helps demonstrate the demand for local CDL training.

Pocomoke City SAFE PATH project to start-

 

(Pocomoke City Mayor Todd J. Nock announcement)

I am excited to announce that Phase 1 of the Mayor’s Safe Path Initiative will officially begin on June 22, 2026, and continue through July 17, 2026. This is a major investment in our infrastructure and a commitment to improving the safety, appearance, and quality of life throughout Pocomoke City.

During this phase, crews will be milling, repaving, and completing related roadway improvements in the following areas:

• Winter Quarters

• Beech Street

• Sixth Street

• Fifth Street

• Fourteenth Street

• Linden Drive

• Princess Anne Lane

• Fifteenth Street

• Moore Street

• Bonneville Avenue

• Bishop Isaac Jenkins Street

Residents should expect heavy equipment, construction activity, and occasional traffic delays while work is underway. A detailed construction schedule for each area will be released by the City.

Please note that vehicles will not be permitted to park on streets during scheduled construction periods. Vehicles that obstruct construction operations may be towed at the owner’s expense.

This project represents the first phase of a larger vision to create safer streets, sidewalks, and pathways throughout our community. Phase 2 of the Mayor’s Safe Path Initiative will begin immediately following the completion of Phase 1, as we continue moving Pocomoke City forward one street, one sidewalk, and one neighborhood at a time.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and support as we make these long-overdue improvements. The future of Pocomoke is being built today, and we’re just getting started.

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.
