Salisbury’s Community Appearance Commission (CAC) members recently selected winners for the annual Holiday Storefront Decorations Awards. This is the fourteenth consecutive year of celebrating downtown merchants whose window displays best capture the holiday season. 

Due to inclement weather, Downtown Salisbury’s Santa and the Grinch at the Bell Tower will be moved indoors to City Hall, 217 S. Main Street. 

W. Brian Hiatt, former Concord city manager, will lead Salisbury’s planning department on an interim, part-time basis until a new planning director is named. Hiatt’s appointment comes on the heels of former Planning Director Janet Gapen’s retirement and Development Manager Preston Mitchell’s recent resignation. Hiatt’s first day was Monday, Nov. 19.

Immediate hazards surrounding recent train derailment have been cleared.

Salisbury residents of all ages are invited to an Open House celebration at Fire Station #1, 514 E. Innes Street, Saturday, Oct. 20 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Norfolk Southern will soon be in Rowan County performing maintenance and repair work to Salisbury railroads.
