Zebulun authorizes manager to support Five County Stadium fireworks street closures for Capital Broadcasting events
Summary
Commissioners authorized the town manager to approve street‑closure requests tied to fireworks at Five County Stadium when requested by Capital Broadcasting, the town or Wake County; the action enables the town to provide the written local‑support documentation NCDOT requires.
ZEBULUN — The Zebulun Board of Commissioners voted May 4 to authorize the town manager to approve street closures needed to support fireworks events at Five County Stadium when requested by Capital Broadcasting, the town or Wake County.
Director Long explained the resolution is intended to provide the supporting local authorization that NCDOT requires before it will approve closures on state‑maintained roads for special events. The partnership with Capital Broadcasting is described as a new arrangement to continue stadium fireworks events similar to previous private events. The resolution delegates authority to the manager to approve closures for stadium fireworks and related safety measures; the board may set time limits or revisit the delegation in future meetings.
Commissioners discussed whether the authorization covers a single event or should be structured as a time‑bound delegation; staff replied the resolution can be edited and that present language was intended to facilitate coordination for events this season, subject to future review. The board approved resolution 2026‑22.
