Spencer, NC

The Spencer Board of Aldermen has chosen a new logo for the town that retains the historic aspect of the railroad and museum town yet looks to the future. The logo uses the “Original” theme in its tagline that was adopted by the Rowan County Tourism Development Authority following a marketing study. The TDA’s “Be an Original”® theme is used throughout the county in logos for consistency in marketing.

Town of Spencer officials received good news to kick off Thanksgiving weekend, which will impact the community for years to come. Tuesday evening, NC Department of Commerce Rural Economic Development Division notified Mayor Jonathan Williams of the Town’s award of $750,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for its Neighborhood Revitalization Program. Funds may be spent on rehabilitation, acquisition, emergency repairs or other eligible housing activities. Town staff will receive further guidance on the award in the weeks to come, and then Town and Salisbury CDC staff will begin work to accept the grant and identify potential recipients.
