So excited to have Emma Griffin, Director of Parks and Recreation, serve on the Downtown Advisory Board to work with other passionate individuals in uplifting Downtown Gibsonville and envisioning its future!

Meet your Downtown Advisory Board!

This dedicated group of volunteers has been appointed by the Board of Aldermen to help support and strengthen Downtown Gibsonville while preserving the character, history, and charm that make it such a special place.

Working through committees focused on promotion, design, organization, and economic vitality, the board will provide recommendations and ideas that help celebrate our downtown, support local businesses, encourage community engagement, and honor Gibsonville's historic identity.

We are grateful for the time, talent, and passion these individuals bring as they work to ensure our downtown remains a vibrant and welcoming place for residents, businesses, and visitors for years to come.

Not pictured are ex officio members Mayor Bryant Crisp and Library Director Jessica Arnold.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be introducing each board member and sharing what excites them most about the future of Downtown Gibsonville. Stay tuned!

Gibsonville had a visitor recently! Meteorologist Tim Buckley gave us a shoutout and highlighted a few of his favorite things here in Gibsonville.

Did he miss anything? What is YOUR favorite thing about Gibsonville?

Hometown shoutout! Gibsonville edition.

I was happy to pass through just the other day and wanted to say how nice Gibsonville is these days. Beautiful Main Street area with coffee shops ☕️, creameries 🍦and cabooses 🚂.

I’m sure we have some Gibsonville folks here on the page. Let me know if you’re a Gibsonville local!
