CARRBORO, NC -- The Town of Carrboro has been named a 2025 All-America City by the National Civic League, marking a historic win in the town’s first year applying and competing for the prestigious national recognition.
Come celebrate the Carrboro Win at a special program to be held at the beginning of the Carrboro Music Festival. Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, at the Drakeford Library Complex!
Carrboro has been recognized for its bold commitment to advancing democracy through local action, community partnerships, and inclusive civic infrastructure —the network of relationships, partnerships, and capacities driving effective decision-making and problem-solving.
Carrboro, North Carolina continues to advance its racial equity and climate goals through initiatives like Carrboro in Motion, which brings civic engagement directly to underrepresented renters through bilingual neighborhood block parties, and the Green Neighborhoods Grant Program, which funds resident-led climate projects. Additionally, Carrboro’s award-winning Bolin Creek Watershed Restoration project united residents, homeowner associations, and state agencies to tackle stormwater issues with nature-based solutions, turning a persistent challenge into a collaborative success.
