Shadow or No Shadow, the Storm’s in the Rearview as Cary Operations Move Toward Normal
With Winter Storm Gianna in the rearview mirror, shadow or no shadow, Cary is shifting gears and scaling back its response, thanks in large part to the swift work of the A+ Team and a forecast calling for above-freezing temperatures by Wednesday. Curbside collection is delayed by one day this week. Cary Town Hall and all staffed facilities have returned to normal operation. Go Cary's fixed-route and Tier 1 door-to-door service has resumed. Read the full details in our most recent news release.
