TOWN SERVICES

The Town of Mills River has a contract with Mills River Fire and Rescue for fire protection within the Town limits.  Mills River Fire and Rescue has a rich history of service to the Mills River community and a strong tradition of excellence.   http://mrfd.org/.

 

 

Law Enforcement is provided by the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office.  In addition to the regular protection the Sheriff’s Office provides, the Town of Mills River has a contract for supplemental protection.  Corporal Ken McCraw serves the residents of Mills River with dedication and a smile.  Call the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department to contact Corporal McCraw and schedule a time for him to speak to your organization.

 

The Town of Mills River was founded in part for residents to have some control over the management of growth.  In March of 2004, the Town took over Planning from Henderson County and has since adopted its own Zoning Ordinance.  In addition, Town Council and the Planning Board are working through a draft of the Town’s first Comprehensive Land Use Plan.  This plan will become a guide for the future development of the community.  For more information on the Zoning Ordinance, contact the Zoning Administrator, Jaime Laughter Adrignola, at Town Hall.
 

In May of 2005, the Town of Mills River began a street-lighting project by installing lights at the intersections of Highway 280 (Boylston Highway), Old Turnpike Road, and Schoolhouse Road; and at the intersection of Highway 191 South and Banner Farm Road.  The Town will gradually add additional lights at key intersections and along more dangerous stretches of road.  To obtain a street-light in your neighborhood, contact Town Hall.  A list will be compiled, priorities set, and additional lighting added as funding allows.
