Local builder and entrepreneur, Mark Spurlin, has announced his candidacy today for Mayor of Pike Road, AL in the 2025 Municipal Election.
“Pike Road is filled with great people- families, retirees, and single adults. Our town has seen impressive, attention grabbing growth over the last few years, but unfortunately our response to that fast paced growth has become haphazard and lacking in intentionality. In recent years this momentum has shifted to an undeniable concern of many. The time to reevaluate the future of Pike Road as a community and come forth with a fresh, objective perspective is now.”
“Our town deserves leadership that is focused on the long term future and through my experiences, interests and talents I believe I can serve as a catalyst to achieve practical, yet creative solutions. I am committed to providing a fresh perspective that will help us meet the challenges of growth while embracing our citizens and building upon the unique qualities that make Pike Road special. By working together, we can build a lasting future that reflects our community’s values and improves the quality of life for all residents.”
Mark Spurlin was born in Montgomery, Alabama. He has a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from Mississippi State University and holds a Masters in Building Construction from Auburn University. Since an early age he has had an interest in the built environment from urban development and city planning to commercial and residential construction. Working with a wide range of mentors and experienced design and construction professionals has given Mark an understanding and appreciation of those with expertise in their field.
Mark goes on to say, “I believe a good leader utilizes individuals’ best qualities for a common goal. By improving collaboration and communication with our citizens we will build a stronger community. I want Pike Road to be a premiere place where current and future residents are proud to call home. I want our town to have its own unique identity and be a place where residents can thrive, businesses are positioned to shine, and our skills and talents can be brought forth for the greater good of the community.”
Mark is married to Jessica and they have three young daughters. Together, Mark and Jessica own and operate their own businesses- Mark Spurlin Construction Co. and Jessica Spurlin Interiors which focus on local renovation and regional residential interior design.
