At the March 7, 2024 Budget Retreat, the Hope Mills Board of commissioners approved the recommendations of a pay study conducted by Piedmont Triad Regional Council. After months of extensive groundwork by elected officials and staff, the pay study which focuses on salaries for all staff was approved for $671,026 annually for increases to start on July 1, 2024. The board of commissioners also approved a budget amendment for $106,650 of the pay study recommendations to provide increases to first responders Police and Fire now. Those increases in police and fire salaries will begin in April 2024 which would cover the salary upgrades to first responders through the rest of the current fiscal year.
This move from the Town of Hope Mills places the municipality in a position of competitive wages throughout the region which will ultimately aid in recruitment and retention efforts.
