Mills River is losing their Town Manager of five years, Daniel Cobb, to Granite Falls, just six miles from Hickory.
It's a promotion for him, pay-wise where he will make $140,000 annually, compared to $111,000 in Mills River and gives him an opportunity go grow professionally.
Granite Falls is a full service community with police and fire departments along with streets, sidewalks and utilities.
The town council has hired Shannon Baldwin, a former Henderson County commissioner who retired as Lake Lure’s manager, to lead the municipality while council members search for Cobb’s replacement.
