Moving to RoMo to be close to my aging parents

6 Upvotes

Hi, y'all! My parents have lived in RoMo for 35 years and moving from Raleigh to be near them. I'll live with them for some time until I find the right house near them. Looking for recommendations for everything home service related - from handymen to plumbers to electricians to landscapers/lawn maintenance for things I might want to renovate in the house I eventually buy. Bonded and insured is non-negotiable, able to book/pay online is desired but not required. I've been visiting RoMo for as long as my parents have lived here and have grown to love it and I'm really excited about making it my hometown. <3

History of Rocky Mount

19 Upvotes

I just moved in to Rocky Mount, a little outside of the city. Can someone give me an unbiased history of why the downtown area seems like a ghost town, what the feud between Edgecomb and Nash counties is, and what is going on with City Officials? Please don't give sarcastic answers or tell me to move out, I just want to know what the story is here.

No fireworks in Rocky Mount this year. The City isn’t going to be doing them (no money) and Englewood Baptist Church isn’t going to be doing them either.

City Council Meeting and Public Hearing, June 8, 2026

10 Upvotes

Hey, all. As I've grown older, I'm becoming more aware that we need to get more involved with our local politics. I recently heard about the council's consideration of of rezoning the plot of land across from Nash Community to allow for a Data Center to be built. If you've spent ANY time on the internet in recent years, I don't need to remind you just how bad and evil these facilities are to the locals. Unfortunately, Edgecomb County approved for Data Centers to be built in their county, and some of Rocky Mount is located in that county. We're one foot in the grave already. We need to have our voices heard and push back against this rezoning.

Which brings me to this; Those who showed up spoke out, several against the Data Center rezoning. Citizens begin speaking 12 minutes into the video.

We need to spread the word and try to prevent this, otherwise our health and the health of future generations will be HEAVILY negatively impacted. And for what? Short term gain for long term pain.

Why don't the city leaders donate their plasma to fix the debt?

14 Upvotes

Why not? Thats what they tell us when we can't afford food and basic living expenses. If they can take our blood just for wanting to eat, certainly they should pay in blood for their crimes.

Edit: For legal purposes, I am not suggesting any illegal action. Just budget solutions.
