Government

The community voted to incorporate in August 1990 with resident David Lee Coleman chosen as the first mayor. The community elects four at-large aldermen and a mayor who meet monthly at Board of Mayor and Aldermen meetings. Two aldermen are elected every two years with the mayoral election every four years.

In early 2015, the Town embarked on a city planning process to update the zoning regulations. After gathering public input, the Town worked with planning consultants to create the Land Development Ordinance that went on to receive the Driehaus Award's Honorable Mention for form-based code in 2016.
