Abstract

Action Requested:  Vote to approve the attached resolution and forward to our state legislators and Governor McCrory.

                     

Introduction & Background:  The Connect NC bond package will be on the ballot in November and includes funds for community colleges and water/sewer projects.  It also includes funds to make needed improvements at Jordan Lake State Park.  More information on the projects funded can be found at:  <http://connect.nc.gov/>
