Orange County voters approved six bond referendums.
The Town of Chapel Hill
The Town of Chapel Hill presented voters with five separate bond referendums for a variety of projects — including affordable housing, public facilities, streets and sidewalks, parks and recreation facilities and open space and greenways for a total of $44 million in bonds.
Voters approved all five referendums.
These bonds will have no impact on Chapel Hill tax rates, according to a previously reported Daily Tar Heel article.
Chapel Hill Mayor Jess Anderson said all bonds align with the Town's Complete Community Strategy, a DTH article from Oct. 20 reported.
“Not only our housing, but our greenway initiatives are all about affordability,” Anderson said in the previous article. “So making sure that people who work here can live here, that the people who make our community run can be here and not have to commute.”
Orange County and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools
Voters also approved a $300 million bond to be split between Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. A previous DTH article reported that the bond is estimated to cost taxpayers roughly an additional $34 for every $100,000 of assessed property value.
