Councilman Kenneth Reeves told the Mount Holly City Council that the City of Mount Holly's fourth core value is "a commitment to increase vibrancy through art and placemaking." Reeves said the city has recently emerged as a place where "art and creativity are becoming distinctive components of the community's character."
Reeves, who identified himself as having lived in Mount Holly for 35 years, said the city should build on recent openings of studios, art galleries and public art displays to "allow new ideas to flourish and serve as a catalyst for future improvements over time." He listed studio art, culinary art, gardening and unique gathering places as components of that approach.
The remarks were a statement of emphasis and local values rather than a motion; no formal actions or votes were recorded in the transcript associated with these remarks. Reeves closed by saying he is "proud and thankful to serve our community and to further this core value."
