Carter elected to serve as Toccoa’s Mayor for 2020

The City of Toccoa has a new mayor.

At their last regular meeting of 2019, Commissioners elected Terry Carter to serve as the Mayor for the calendar year 2020.

Commissioner Evan Hellenga will serve as Vice Mayor next year.

After accepting the Mayoral position, Carter performed his first official duty by presenting current Mayor Gail Fry with a plaque.

The City of Toccoa has traditionally chosen their Mayors from the City Commission rather than holding a public election.

Each mayor serves for one year.
