Town Leadership
The Town of Pike Road was incorporated in 1997 by citizens who wanted to have planning and administrative control over their geographic location. These citizens have been actively working to capitalize on this opportunity and build a model town. To ensure that citizens are actively engaged in a participatory form of government, the town elects its leadership. The town has an elected mayor that serves as the chair of the council and as the chief executive. The town has five council members that are elected at large and serve in a legislative capacity. The election occurs every four years and there are no term limits.
​
Council meetings are held at Pike Road Town Hall, on the second Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. and on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00 a.m.
​
