Program funding
Program funding of $5 million from voter-approved public improvement bonds in 2018.
The Capital Investment Plan approved by City Council in 2013 calls for voters to consider approval of funding for a number of infrastructure programs. Voting referendum were held in 2014 , 2016 and 2018, with future referenda in 2020. For this project, if voters approve funding, City staff will engage the community to determine the details of what will ultimately be built. Once these details are known, the cost of the project will be estimated and published. Learn more about the Capital Investment Plan at http://charlottefuture.com
