夏洛特选民通过全部三项市政债券共4.25亿美元 交通、住房与社区改造均获批
夏洛特选民在11月3日的投票中通过了全部三项市政债券，合计4.25亿美元，11月5日更新的非官方计票确认了这一结果。其中交通债券2.8亿美元，用于道路、人行道与自行车道；住房债券1.25亿美元，用于可负担住房；社区债券2000万美元，用于邻里改善。
计入利息后，三项债券的预计总成本分别约为：交通4.371亿美元、住房1.984亿美元、社区3120万美元。
住房债券通过尤为关键：市议会住房委员会主席拉瓦娜·梅菲尔德（LaWana Mayfield）此前透露，市政府用于帮助市民支付购房首付款的账户上月已经见底。市政府可据此启动借款程序，具体项目清单与时间表将由市议会陆续审议。（来源：梅克伦堡县选举委员会）
Charlotte voters approve all three city bond referenda totaling $425 million
Charlotte voters approved all three city bond referenda in the November 3 election, totaling $425 million, according to unofficial returns updated November 5: a $280 million transportation bond for roads, sidewalks and bikeways; a $125 million housing bond for affordable housing; and a $20 million neighborhood bond for community improvements.
Including interest, the estimated total costs are about $437.1 million for transportation, $198.4 million for housing and $31.2 million for neighborhoods.
The housing bond's passage is especially significant: City Council housing committee chair LaWana Mayfield had said the city's down-payment assistance account hit zero last month. The city can now begin borrowing, with project lists and timelines to be considered by the council in turn. (Source: Mecklenburg County Board of Elections)
