NEW BROCKTON - New Brockton Mayor Kathryn Holley tendered her resignation earlier this week, stating she is unhappy with the direction some town council members are leading the community.
“I can no longer be a part of the direction a couple of the councilmembers are choosing to take our town,” Holley said in her letter to the town council dated Monday, Dec. 5. “I have always tried to improve our town without destroying its character and special qualities, all of which were an act of love for the citizens of New Brockton.
Holley had the distinction of being the town’s first female mayor when she was first elected to serve from 1992 until 1996. She declined to run for reelection in 1996 but ran successfully again in 2012 and has served as mayor since then. Her current term of leading this Coffee County town of 1,428 would have ended in 2025.
“Thank you all for your help and support,” Holley added. “New Brockton is still a great place to call home.”
