Top issues during term (13)(General)
Festival Street Design
Residents have seen an estimated $5 million figure associated with the project; final cost depends on the merged concept.
Data center regulations study
Large-scale data centers could strain the town's water and power systems if allowed without new rules.
Data center moratorium and faster development reviews
Could affect future utility rates and infrastructure costs depending on what the study finds.
Community engagement: Engage Holly Springs, neighborhood summit, 311
Could require additional staff resources, though no dollar figure was given.
Yard waste center relocation
Free service for residents; no cost figure given.
Potential 2027 or 2028 transportation bond referendum
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.
Bridge naming for Deputy Mark R. Tucker
The $2,000 NCDOT administrative fee was already raised by project partners.
Possible environmental advisory board
These are unpaid volunteer advisory roles, so there's no direct cost or payout involved.
waste management facility
It's free for residents, though funded by your tax dollars operating the municipal waste services.
Wake County Non-Discrimination Ordinance in Holly Springs
No direct cost to the town — enforcement is handled by Wake County staff and Campbell Law School mediation.
Adoption of Wake County Non-Discrimination Ordinance
Essentially no direct cost to the town — the county covers enforcement through an interlocal agreement.
surveillance technology
No direct costs to taxpayers have been announced, but any future town cleanup or tech removal could hit our municipal budget.
downtown revitalization award
The award itself doesn’t appear to come with cash, so the money angle is mostly reputational—it could make Holly Springs more competitive for future grants or downtown investment.
