Southern City Magazine

Working As One. Advancing All.

​​​League publications, regardless of format, keep members informed about best practices around the state and country, emerging trends and technologies, policy proposals that affect municipalities, programs and services offered by the League, and key events taking place across the state. Southern City ​magazine is received by every elected municipal official and every key appointed official, and Southern City also serves as a great source of information for the public about all that is going in North Carolina cities and towns. 

Southern City 2026 Issue 2

In this issue of Southern City, we highlight memorable moments from this year’s regional Town & State Dinners and CityVision through a collection of photos from around the state.

We also take an in-depth look at the latest property tax legislation, examining its potential impact on municipalities and offering guidance for engaging with legislators on this important issue. Our League attorney outlines key ethics and conflict-of-interest considerations that every elected official should understand while serving in office. In addition, learn about the latest developments in our Accounting & Instruction and Mentorship program.

This issue also shines a spotlight on our immediate past president, Albemarle Mayor Pro Tem Martha Sue Hall, and Representative Stephen Ross.
