CARRBORO, NC – Mayor Barbara Foushee has proclaimed Friday, April 18, 2025 as National Lineman (Lineworker) Appreciation Day in Carrboro.
The profession of the electrical line worker is steeped in personal, family and professional tradition. Line workers are often first responders during storms and other catastrophic events, working to make the scene safe for other public safety officials, and to expedite the return of vital electrical power to our communities.
Line workers are often faced with dangerous conditions, far from their families, as they work to construct and maintain energy infrastructure throughout the State of North Carolina and the United States
The Town of Carrboro thanks these skilled and heroic line workers who brave hurricanes, ice storms, snowstorms, floods, and other natural disasters to maintain our community’s energy grid.
