The Town of Spruce Pine operates under a council-manager form of government. The town council consists of four council members and a voting mayor. The council-manager form is the system of local government that combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a governing body, with the strong managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. The governing body, commonly known as the council, may also be referred to as the commission or the board. This legislative body establishes the policies for the town.

The Town Council currently meets twice per month on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 5:30pm unless otherwise posted.

The Town Manager is the CEO of the Town’s government and is in charge of the day-to-day operations of the Town. When the Council makes a decision on an ordinance, law, or policy, the Town Manager is responsible for implementing those policies.

Mayor's Welcome Message

Welcome, Friends!

Nestled along the North Toe River in a high valley between some of the most well-known peaks on the Eastern seaboard – Roan Mountain, Mount Mitchell, and Grandfather – Spruce Pine is perfectly poised for all manner of outdoor adventure. Hiking trails, river runs, ski slopes, scenic drives and motorcycle routes are all easily accessible. Our four distinct seasons offer ever-changing variety.

While the beautiful landscape is reason enough to visit or call it home, Spruce Pine offers so much more. Our history as the area’s hub for commerce dates back to the turn of the last century when the Clinchfield Railroad came through. Explore the local restaurants, shops, galleries and craft studios to discover the independent and resourceful spirit of the Appalachian settlers alive and flourishing. We also offer more opportunities to experience our friendly mountain culture at our annual festivals, tours and indoor markets.

More than anything, Spruce Pine is resilient and revitalizing. We’re a strong community that supports one another. It is our goal to grow with purpose, preserving our values — peaceful pace of life, pride in the work you set your hands to, and good company.

Many towns may profess their uniqueness but come see for yourself that Spruce Pine is truly a rare treasure.

For the Love of Spruce Pine,

Mayor Beth Holmes
