Nan Holland was a unanimous selection to fill Robert Marshall’s vacated position on the council during Monday night’s regular meeting. Before becoming the newest council member, Holland had to resign from the Planning Board. In November, Jack Ingle was elected to a seat on the council and had to give up his role on the Planning Board, where he served two terms as chairman. “We want the public to know how difficult this decision was,” said councilman Larry McClellan. “The board members of the council batted this around for several weeks. We felt like Mrs. Holland offered the best option for us because of her dedication to the community and her long years of service to the community on the various committees, like the Zoning Board of Adjustments and the Planning Board. She has been a very active and very productive citizen.” This is an on-line publication of The Clemmons Courier 3600 Clemmons Road P.O.
