elcome from Havelock’s Mayor Welcome to Havelock, a city in transition with a vision towards the future. We are a wonderful city with a beautiful year round climate that has many activities to match it, including an annual Salute to the Veterans Dinner, the Freedom Festival, Music in the Park, National Night Out, and Annual Chili Cook-off and Christmas events such as a parade and community tree lighting. Havelock has a state of the art Tourist and Event Center that hosts a multitude of events from conferences and weddings to Marine Corps Balls and birthday parties. It also houses the Eastern Carolina Aviation Heritage Foundation. This group curates our aircraft collection and the dynamic and varied displays that are open for the public to enjoy every day. Their mission is to preserve the history of aviation in our region, and to encourage the next generation of aviation leaders through the use of education. Next to the Tourist and Event Center, we have
From the Mayor the Slocum Creek Waterfront Park. This park provides access to some of our most beautiful natural resources of wilderness and water through opportunities to picnic, hike, kayak and fish. This park is one of many examples of the extensive recreation opportunities that are already available in Havelock. As we navigate forward, the city is focused on providing citizens and businesses a responsive and efficient government. Our new city hall is an integral piece of that plan as it brings all of our core services under one roof. Our infrastructure is a main concern and is being maintained and expanded to best provide for our current citizens and accommodate healthy growth. We maintain a bright outlook on Havelock’s future and our priority is encouraging that outcome. Havelock is the gateway to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. There is a long history of cooperation and partnership, and we take our role very seriously as we look to strengthen and grow that relationship. We are honored to be a community that can work and play alongside the heroes and their families that call Cherry Point home. Take some time to enjoy everything that Havelock has to offer. We are certain that you will find your place within our vibrant community. Sincerely, Mayor Will Lewis
