Carrboro Mayor Barbara Foushee speaks with 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell on Friday, April 4. She discusses her town being a finalist for the 2025 All-America City Award based on the local government’s engagement efforts with residents and her personal investment in making sure people’s voices are heard. That includes holding events like this past week’s town hall with staff, which the mayor described as productive for all parties. She also recaps the council’s meeting from this week, featuring resolutions rededicating the town to preventing pedestrian-involved collisions, and last week’s work session on affordable housing. Finally, Foushee details an upcoming event on Sunday that will shut down Weaver Street and be a party to kick off the spring event season!
