Question 9: Fire & Public Safety
When an emergency happens, seconds matter.
Some neighborhoods in Fayetteville are farther from existing fire stations. That distance can mean longer response times when you need help most.
On March 3, 2026, Fayetteville voters will decide whether to continue an existing one-cent sales tax to raise $335 million for city improvements, WITHOUT RAISING TAXES.
Question 9 strengthens Fayetteville’s fire readiness by funding:
A new Northwest fire station to close coverage gaps
A modern fire training facility to keep crews well-trained and prepared
Updated firefighting vehicles, equipment, and apparatus to support faster, safer response
When you call 911, you should be able to count on a fast, reliable response. Question 9 helps make that possible.
The bond vote has been endorsed by the Fayetteville Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 2866.
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.
