Mint Hill Residents,

Cooler days and pumpkin spice will be here before you know it and you know what that means.  It’s time to start thinking about the Town of Mint Hill Annual Scarecrow Decorating Contest.  Last year, we had 85 entries.  Our goal this year is 100.  We’ve come a long way since the first year when we had 15 scarecrows around the circle at Town Hall.  We want to see scarecrows at the entrance of your subdivisions, in your front yards and in front of your place of business.  Thanks to our sponsor, Novant Health, we will be awarding cash prizes for the best scarecrows.  Watch our social media for the application and announcements in the next few weeks.

Work continues at Mint Hill Veterans Memorial Park.  Construction on the tennis courts will alleviate the drainage problems.  In addition, one of the courts will be converted to a pickleball court.  Parts have been ordered and the toddler playground will be replaced later this year.  This project will replace the playground (with the exceptions of the swing sets) with a new playground featuring inclusive items for children with special needs.  For a full list of ongoing projects, please visit our website.

The Board of Commissioners will meet on Thursday, August 11^th at 7:00 pm.  You can view the agenda for the meeting on our website.

Stay cool and stay hydrated!

Have a great week!

Brad Simmons
Mint Hill Mayor
