Hey there! So, this week in Monroe was a whirlwind of fun and meaningful events. First up, don’t miss our Easter Egg-stravaganza on April 12th for some family fun!

We’re buzzing with excitement as new spots like Vision Flex and the Homebrew Taproom make downtown the place to be. Shout out to Peter Carlin for his part in this lively revival!

Our community really shined at the Senior Games, and we’ve seen such generosity at Hartford Monroe’s food drive and Kingdom Citizen Outreach Ministries. It’s incredible to witness everyone coming together.

Let's give a massive thank you to Deputy Chief Greg Collins for his 30 years of service. His leadership has been rock solid and instrumental to Monroe’s safety and growth.

Finally, major props to our economic development team for securing funds for expressway commerce. High-paying jobs and growth? Yes, please! That's the scoop for today, and remember, Monroe strong!

Hey friend! This week's Mayor's Minute is packed with exciting updates from our latest city council meeting along with everything else that happened the week of the March 17, 2025.

Hey there, and welcome back to the Robert Burns Podcast, your go-to place for straight talk from Monroe, North Carolina. Mayor Robert Burns is back, and Season 2 is all about diving deeper into the issues that matter most to us.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the often-overlooked battleground of municipal elections. In Monroe, where our turnout can flip an election with just 50 votes, Mayor Burns is rallying the troops against various local challenges—from socialists to woke agendas, all while preserving our conservative values. Plus, hear a candid take on how DEI initiatives and drag shows for kids are impacting our community.

So grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and let's chat about how you can make a real difference in Monroe's future. It's going to be quite the ride, and you won't want to miss it!
