📱 The sign with the QR code connects you to the Wander app. The app helps you explore parks, trails and experiences throughout Zebulon and Wake County. When location services are enabled, it can also show your current location and its unique what3words address.
📍 The emergency-location sign identifies an exact spot on the trail. The three words printed on the sign are the what3words address for that specific location. If you need emergency assistance near the sign, call 911 and read those three words to the telecommunicator.
If you move away from the sign, your location’s what3words address will change. Open the Wander app to find the three words for your current location and share them with 911.

The Town of Zebulon has been notified that it will be included on the North Carolina Local Government Commission’s (LGC) Fiscal Year 2025 Unit Assistance List.
The LGC recently announced that it is taking a more consistent approach to applying its Unit Assistance List criteria to local governments, regardless of size. Zebulon is among several larger local government units being added to the FY 2025 list.
The notification states that the determination is based on a review of the Town’s Fiscal Year 2025 audited financial statements and other information related to financial health and fiscal management practices. It does not specify which factors led to Zebulon’s inclusion on the list. The Town has reached out to the LGC for additional clarification and information.
The Town has already been working to strengthen its financial management practices and internal controls, and that work is continuing.
The LGC’s Coach Team is expected to work with the Town in the coming weeks to establish monitoring requirements, provide additional information and identify specific areas that may require attention. The Town will work closely with the LGC throughout the process and will continue to keep the community informed.
