Public Notice: Temporary Closure of 100 Block of N. Arendell Avenue Please be aware that the 100 Block of N.

Please take a few minutes to complete our Budget Survey and let us know what matters most to you. Your feedback will directly shape the final decisions we make.

Thank you to everyone who attended tonight's Town Hall. We planned to stream the meeting; however, we did experience an internet outage that prevented the livestreaming from occurring. The session was recorded and will be available to watch tomorrow morning. Over the course of the evening, we answered approximately 36 questions and will continue posting responses to any unanswered questions on our website. You may still send questions to townmanager@townofzebulon.org.

The Town of Zebulon is pleased to announce the return of two additional staff members. Ms. Lisa Markland is resuming her position as a part-time Town Clerk. Over the next two months (through June 30), she will be working closely on the Town agenda, especially as we work through FY25-26 budget presentations, address outstanding meeting minutes, and interview candidates for Town Manager and Town Clerk. Ms. Markland will be working strictly on Clerk-Board matters. Ms. Stacie Paratore also resumed work last week on a part-time basis at the Town’s HR Specialist. Over the next several weeks, we will be interviewing for a new Human Resources Director.
