Town News
*UPDATE REGARDING THE 2024 SIX MILE CHRISTMAS PARADE*
We are excited to announce that candy will continue to be a part of the parade. However, to ensure the safety of all attendees, there has been a modification regarding the distribution of candy. In compliance with the town's liability insurance policy, parade participants can no longer throw candy towards bystanders, but rather can only hand it out directly. This small change is all about keeping our kids safe while they have a fantastic time at the parade, ensuring they won’t have any loose pieces of candy to chase on the road that put them in harm’s way. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us make this parade a wonderful experience.
Message from the Mayor
As your Mayor, I want to welcome you to the official website of the Town of Six Mile, South Carolina. On behalf of myself, Town Council, and staff, our goal is to make this website current, interactive and the sole official voice of our town.
​
We are a living and working community of approximately 759 residents. Despite changes, our small-town uniqueness remains unwavering. Community events, town projects and pride in our town and its quality of life bind our townsfolk together.
​
In Six Mile, we pride ourselves on our small-town atmosphere, values, community spirit, and civic consciousness. We stress civility.
​
We have multiple projects in process which is amazing for a town of our size. These include our Downtown Park site, our Recreation facility expansion at Ponderosa Park, and Bryson Children's Nature Walk (a project for which our Town won a Municipal Achievement Award in July 2024). We may be small in Six Mile, but we think big. Despite an ambitious agenda, we maintain our financial integrity. We urge you to take advantage of our volunteer opportunities and get involved in Six Mile. We need volunteers.
​
I believe in face-to-face communication, and I will make every effort to make myself available to our citizens. Never hesitate to sit down for a chat with me any time. I'm excited about our town. I'm dependent on you, our citizens, to assist in a forward-thinking and progressive future for our town while simultaneously keeping Six Mile Six Mile.
Kindest regards
James A. Atkinson
Mayor
Donate to Bryson Children's Nature Walk
Bryson Children's Nature Walk is a 63 acre site donated to and owned by the Town of Six Mile with greenspace protections maintained via a Conservation Easement with the Land Trust Non-Profit, Upstate Forever. Upstate Forever manages and monitors the site for compliance with the Conservation Easement. In addition, Upstate Forever will also approve site practices and provide advice on potential grant funding opportunities for perpetuity. A Forest Management Plan/Site Plan maps out site usage and greenspace/water quality preservation practices in compliance with the Conservation Easement. Plans for the site include greenspace and water quality protection, trails, a boardwalk and overlook at the pond area, a garden area for children's onsite experience with garden vegetables, and ultimately a Children's Outdoor Nature Learning Center.
Donations for this project are welcome and can be made to the Town of Six Mile FBO Bryson Children's Nature Walk.
