Investing in Morrisville - Vote YES November 6th

For the first time in 8 years, Morrisville will have an opportunity to approve bond funded investments in our community on November 6th.   Not to exceed $20M, the investments proposed are:
  1. Construction of the NC54 bypass from McCrimmon Pkwy to Evans Rd and
  2. Improvements to our parks and recreation facilities to include expansion of our Morrisville Aquatic and Fitness Center and addition of amenities to Morrisville Community Park

Our Mayor Pro Tem Liz Johnson presented an excellent primer on bond funding earlier this year, well worth a read.  The audio can be accessed by visiting the Mayor Pro Tem's town webpage and clicking the link under Town Hall Meeting.  For those with questions on our specific projects, click here to contact the Town of Morrisville staff.


This is an exciting opportunity for our community, one that will fund improvements to projects important to our residents.  The cost will depend on timing of design and construction, but is expected to add no more than $97.20 per year in taxes to the median priced Morrisville home .  I hope you will join me in supporting these investments in Morrisville's present and future.
