Question 1: Refinancing the Current Outstanding Sales Tax Bonds
The first bond question is the most critical.
QUESTION 1 must pass in order to make the other projects possible!
On March 3, Fayetteville voters will decide whether to continue an existing one-cent sales tax to fund $335 million in city improvements WITHOUT RAISING TAXES.
Question 1 makes the other 8 possible. It allows the City to retire the remaining 2019 bond debt, reinvest in essential projects, and plan responsibly for the long term while maintaining a balanced, sustainable budget.
If Question 1 fails, the rest of the bond fails as well. Roads, sidewalks, parks, fire safety, and water and sewer improvements would be on hold.
Passing Question 1 lets voters decide the eight projects on their own merits.
Question 1 is the foundation for Building Fayetteville’s Future.
