MONROE, N.C. (Feb. 19, 2025) – Union County is currently under a winter weather advisory. Due to forecasted precipitation mixed with freezing temperatures and the potential for slick roads, all County government offices will operate on a four-hour delay on Thursday, Feb. 20, opening at 12 p.m. This decision prioritizes the safety of our employees and the residents we serve.

  • All Library branches will open at 12 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20. The library's digital resources are always available online.
  • Cane Creek Park's day-use area will open at 12 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20.  
  • All Transportation services are canceled. Riders may leave reservation requests on the 24-hour voicemail.
  • The Union County landfill and all waste and recycling centers will open at 12 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20. 
  • All home deliveries in the Senior Nutrition program are canceled on Thursday, Feb. 20, and congregate meal sites are closed. Clients have been provided shelf-stable meals to have available in case of emergency cancelations.
  • The Register of Deeds office will open at 12 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20. 

All other County services not specifically listed above will open to the public beginning at 12 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20. Essential public safety services remain operational around the clock, including the Sheriff's Office and Emergency Services teams.

“The safety of our employees and residents is our top priority. This delayed opening of county government offices will allow time for road crews to address any icy conditions and for travel to become safer. We encourage everyone to use caution and check for updates before heading out,” said County Manager Brian Matthews.
