Capital Projects Bond Package

Plans for Feb. 26 Parks and Recreation Capital Projects Bond Referendum Halted

During the Tuesday, Nov. 13 Fayetteville City Council meeting, City Council failed to adopt a bond order resolution, which would have set a public hearing and is required for the issue to be placed on the Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013 ballot.

Consistent with the action taken by Fayetteville City Council, City staff has ceased the educational campaign and is prevented from taking further action to place the capital projects bond proposal on the ballot. Effective immediately, efforts taken in pursuit of the planned Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013 bond referendum have been halted.

All educational meetings have been cancelled and educational material has been removed from the website in order to avoid confusion. The City of Fayetteville would like to thank the many community organizations who held educational meetings with Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks and Recreation staff.

Media questions can be directed to Michael Gibson, director of Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks and Recreation, by calling (910) 433-1557 or emailing him at mgibson@ci.fay.nc.us.
