Special to Iredell Free News

The 2021 Mooresville Citizens Academy will kick off on September 9, and residents are welcome to start signing up now for the eight-week course.

The Citizens Academy gives town residents an inside look at town services and facilities and provides an opportunity to meet the people who provide those services each day. Two sessions will be offered each Thursday, one in the morning from 9 a.m. to noon, and a second in the evening, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Fifteen residents can be included in each session, and the deadline to apply is August 20.

The Citizens Academy is free, and will incorporate interactive talks and presentations, tours, and live demonstrations. No matter how long you’ve lived in Mooresville, there’s something new to learn about town departments and services.

Applications for the 2021 Citizens Academy are now available online at https://bit.ly/3laxQn5 or in person at Town Hall, 413 North Main Street. Please return applications to Megan Pleasant, Communications & Marketing Specialist, at mpleasant@mooresvillenc.gov.
