Town Government

The Town of Holly Springs was established with its incorporation by the North
Carolina General Assembly on January 26, 1877, after the Town’s founder,
George Benton Alford, petitioned the State of North Carolina to adopt the
Town’s original incorporation charter. The General Assembly adopted several
charter revisions during the past century, and the latest version of the Town
Charter was passed in 2003. It sets out the current structure of government
in Holly Springs.

The Town operates under the council-manager form of government, in which an
elected Town Council (consisting of a mayor and five council members)
establishes policy, ordains law, decides how land is developed, and hires a
professional, politically neutral Town manager to run day-to-day operations.
The Town manager also provides the council with objective, rational advice and
recommendations and carries out the decisions made by the council in a manner
based on sound business practices.
