Fayetteville’s animal shelter has served this community for decades, but the facility is now 55 years old and has fallen too far behind. That limits services, makes compassionate care harder than it should be, and costs too much to maintain.
On March 3, 2026, Fayetteville voters will decide whether to continue the existing one-cent sales tax to invest $335 million in city improvements, WITHOUT RAISING TAXES.
Question 4 funds a modern, energy-efficient animal services facility that supports increased adoption opportunities and more on-site medical care, including spaying and neutering. This is about better outcomes for animals and a better experience for the people who care for them.
Question 4: Animal Services Facility
We took Firehouse Phil, a Fayetteville Fire Department dalmatian, to the current animal shelter to show just how important it is to vote for BOTH a new fire station and a new animal services facility!
Question 4 would fund the new animal services facility. Parts of the current facility are over 50 years old. Aging infrastructure and systems impact disease control. A newer facility would be more humane, more compassionate, and more welcoming to our community, better serving both animals and humans.
Question 9 would fund the construction of a new fire station, a modern training facility, and updated equipment to support faster response times and better fire protection for residents and businesses across Fayetteville.
Question 1, refinancing the existing sales tax bond, MUST pass for either one of these ballot measures to move forward.
We recommend voting for all ballot questions 1-9. On March 3, 2026, keep Fayetteville's one-cent sales tax working for our community!
For more than 20 years, this single penny has built the roads we drive on, protected the water we drink, and created the parks and trails we love.
By continuing that same penny - and WITOUT RAISING TAXES - we can invest in nine key areas that keep Fayetteville strong, safe, and ready for the future.
The same penny. The next chapter.
More than $335 million invested in Fayetteville's future without raising taxes.
