As the nation prepares to celebrate Independence Day, Union County residents will need to adjust their schedules. Union County Government offices and facilities will be closed next Friday in observance of the holiday. This includes most administrative offices and public services that residents typically rely on during the week.
For bookworms and digital enthusiasts, Union County Library will not be an option for holiday leisure. In an announcement, all library locations are set to close their doors next Friday. With arriving early to avoid the crowds, visitors can expect to soak up the sun and enjoy the festivities, as the day use area at Cane Creek Park is historically packed during the holiday weekend.
The outdoor scene offers a silver lining with Cane Creek Park remaining accessible. According to Union County's announcement, the park will operate under regular hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with its beach area open from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. This venue provides an alternative for those seeking some greenery and water amidst the closures.
Those planning to throw out the trash after their barbecues will need to hold off, as all Waste and Recycling Centers and the Union County Landfill will take a break. And if you're expecting to flash a pearly white smile, note that the Public Health Dental Clinic will be closed on Friday and will not open doors until after the weekend, per their usual schedule.
Even though the offices are closed for the holiday, Union County makes it clear that assistance is just a call or a click away. Whether you need to perform online services or have an urgent question, the county helpline will be active during regular business hours at 704-283-3500. For details regarding changes to the Union County Judicial Center and court hearings around the holiday, residents are encouraged to check the county's official website.
