Planning to move to Hayesville in a year (Mount Holly, Welcome: vacation, jobs)

[Myers Family]

My husband and I are hopping to settle in Hayesville in about a year. We currently live in Waxhaw NC (about 4.5 hours away) I am having a hard time finding job info online.... I have an Associate of arts degree but am home right now with our 3 kids (all 4 and younger). Before the kids I worked as an Office Manager for an Animal Hospital for 5 years. Hubby has a BS of Automotive Technology and currently works as a Service Adviser at his family's Dealership. He may be looking to get out of "the business" though if he can find something with more family friendly hours....
Our inspiration for moving is Mount Holly Kennels and Possible Dreams Farm as our 2 daughters both have Down Syndrome and we are hoping to be involved with their mission.
We welcome Any info on jobs/places to live/schools/everything!

It's quite fantastic! We moved up here from, Yes, I'll go ahead and say it, Florida... and and are quite happy. We have 4 daughters in Primary and Jr. High and the have adapted very well. The quality of schooling is awesome compared to where we came from. But dont go sharing this too much.. we dont want a LOT of growth, we like the "mayberry" small town feel. Last week my girls were in the Christmas Parade and in the Tractor Parade several weeks back! Sounds corny, I know, but it is simply just a better way of living up here. Good luck on your move. I'm just finishing up Welcome to Hayesville, North Carolina so that might help - eventually... If I can get it done!

All the Best,

I believe that is excellent advice. Hayesville, NC is primarily a place one goes to visit, retire or own a vacation home. Here people work in hospitality, tourism (late spring summer/fall), construction (home) or own their own business. Many businesses do several things and they don't have to be related (e.g. home repair and car detailing). People here work to live and not live to work.
