The Charlotte Regional Business Alliance started efforts to get voters to approve a $197 million bond package in the November election.
In a Sept. 14 release, the organization said that the borrowing would improve transportation corridors and housing in the city.
The bond issue is expected to break down into three targets for funding, including $102.2 million for streets, $50 million for housing and 44.5 million for neighborhoods, the alliance said in the release.
“A long-range view on making infrastructure improvements has served us well in terms of promoting economic development and making Charlotte more livable and attractive to workers and businesses,” Angela Yochem, co-chair of the Vote Yes for City Bonds campaign, said in the release. “When city voters approve these bonds, they are saying ‘yes’ to a continuing investment in keeping Charlotte a great place to live and work for many years to come.”
