Cary residents will vote on a $590M in bonds this election, but cost gives some pause

The last two questions on the ballot in Cary this November will ask voters to approve money to help people live and play in the growing town.

The $590 million bond package comprises a $560 million Parks and Recreation Bond and a $30 million Housing Bond.

The parks bond would pay for seven projects, including a sports and recreation center that has been in the works for nearly three years and a senior center in West Cary.

The housing bond would fund town programs and nonprofits helping residents afford rent and support people experiencing financial hardship.

If the bonds are approved, construction could start immediately. If they fail, projects could be delayed years, Town Manager Sean Stegall said. Three meetings will be held to help residents learn more about the bonds, including how they would affect taxes.
