Interactive Map Shows Bond Referendum's Potential Projects
On Nov. 4 Wake Forest residents will get the chance to vote on a $25.1 million bond that would help pay for projects such as new streets and sidewalks, greenway improvements, and enhanced parks and recreation facilities.
As part of the town's public education campaign aimed at helping voters learn more about the bond referendum's potential projects, the town has introduced a new, easy-to-use interactive map.
Now, with the interactive map, you can quickly see where all the potential projects are planned and learn the details of each one from pop-up screens. Each potential project is color-coded to indicate whether they are a street and sidewalk improvement, parks and recreation facility or greenway improvement.
With just one click on the new map, you can view a potential project's name and type and read a brief description. Each project also offers a direct link to additional information on the town's website.
Bond Referendum Overview
The bond referendum calls for three ballot questions that voters will consider separately: $6.3 million for street and sidewalk improvements; $14.2 million for parks and recreation facilities; and $4.6 for greenway improvements.
Though the bond itself would be $25.1 million, it would contribute to projects worth $55 million. Much of the difference between the amounts is made up by grants.
The property tax impact could be up to 2 cents per $100 of assessed property value. However, an increase may not be necessary if the town's revenues continue to increase at its current rate.
