Residents of Mecklenburg County are facing a quiet Monday as a blanket of extreme winter weather has necessitated the closure of county offices and services for the day, as confirmed by official county announcements. The sweeping shutdown includes essential services such as DSS Child, Family, and Adult Services, where hotlines will remain open to report abuse or neglect.
According to the Mecklenburg County website, Community resource centers, including Valerie C. Woodard and Ella B. Scarborough, as well as the Department of Community Support Services and Public Health offices, will be closed. County solid waste and recycling centers are also closed, but emergencies should still be reported to 911. For non-emergency city or county services, call 311.
Park and Recreation facilities, including senior centers, parks, and nature preserves, will remain closed. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library system is also closed, encouraging residents to use home or digital collections.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management advises residents to take precautions against frozen pipes and follow safety guidelines. Sign up for CharMeck Alerts to receive notifications via text, call, or email. Report power outages to Duke Energy and water issues to Charlotte Water.
