We recently had the honor of celebrating the incredible team behind the Town of Zebulon at our Employee Recognition Breakfast.

From 5 to 25 years of service, these dedicated employees continue to show what it means to serve a growing community with commitment, care, and pride. Their work helps make Zebulon the Town of Friendly People every single day.

While not everyone recognized was able to attend or be photographed, we are grateful for each employee and their years of service to our community.

Thank you for all you do.

We had a great time at Spring Fest with everyone who came out. Thank you for being part of it.

The event ended a little early due to the much-needed rain, but we’re glad we had time together before it rolled in.

We’ll be sharing photos and videos later this week, so stay tuned.

We hope that you had a great Monday, Zebulon.

Last week 👇 Our Public Works crew took part in silica hazard training with the North Carolina Department of Labor. When you’re cutting concrete, there’s dust you can’t always see, and it matters. This training helps make sure our team knows how to handle it the right way. Hosted by our Safety Department, and all about keeping our people safe while they’re out doing the work every day.

This past week, the Town hosted its first Manager’s Roundtable with Town Manager Katy Crosby. This informal, small-group conversation creates a welcoming space for employees to share ideas and ask questions. We’re excited to continue these conversations as the roundtables are held monthly. #zebulonnc
