Potential 2027 or 2028 transportation bond referendum
Holly Springs
Summary
Residents named traffic their top concern, and the town faces roughly $1 billion in identified transportation needs. A bond vote in 2027 would provide about $56 million of capacity; waiting until 2028 could yield $67–87 million. Most council members leaned toward 2028, with small projects possibly cash-funded early through a reimbursement resolution.

Impact analysis
A bond of roughly $56–87 million would be repaid without a property tax increase under current projections; each penny on the tax rate would generate about $10–15 million of additional capacity.
All residents who drive, walk, or bike through town, especially those on congested corridors like NC 55, Piney Grove Wilbon Road, and Avent Ferry Road.
Taxpayers could see their bills go up to pay for the massive price tag.
