"Yes" Vote on Park Bonds will Benefit Steele Creek Greenways

(October 22, 2004) On November 2, Mecklenburg County voters will decide on approval for $69 million bonds for county park and recreation facilities. Of this, $25 million is earmarked for greenways. There should be enough funds within that amount to pay for the Steele Creek and Walkers Branch Greenways, which are part of the county's Master Greenway Plan.

If approved, the bonds would be sold over a period of five years, so greenway funding would not be immediate.

Please visit the polls on November 2 and vote YES to support greenways and parks in Steele Creek and throughout Mecklenburg County.
