The City of Demorest will formally seat its city leadership during a swearing-in ceremony scheduled for 11 a.m. at Demorest City Hall.
During the ceremony, Shawn Allen and Andrew Ferguson will be officially sworn in as members of the Demorest City Council. Jerry Harkness will also be sworn in as Mayor.
The swearing-in marks the formal beginning of a new term for the city’s elected officials, who will be responsible for guiding policy decisions, overseeing municipal operations, and addressing issues facing the Demorest community in the months and years ahead.
Swearing-in ceremonies are a longstanding civic tradition, symbolizing both continuity in local government and a renewed commitment to public service. Family members, city staff, and members of the public are expected to attend as the officials take their oaths of office.
Following the ceremony, the mayor and council members are expected to begin their official duties immediately, continuing the work of city governance at Demorest City Hall.
