By a roughly two-to-one margin, North Carolina voters on March 15 approved a $2-billion bond package that will fund new construction and improvements to public buildings and civil infrastructure systems across the state. Gov. Pat McCrory (R), who championed the Connect NC measure, praised voters for its resounding passage.
“North Carolina has sent a message to the nation that people can come together and work to pass a bond package that will benefit future generations,” McCrory said. “I want to thank the voters for saying yes to education, yes to strengthening our National Guard, yes to improving our quality of life by investing in our state parks, and yes to our smaller cities and towns for infrastructure that attract new jobs and strengthen our economy.”
