District 6 Community Meeting: "The Whole Story on the Transit Tax" hosted by Commissioner Susan Rodriguez-McDowell
Ahead of the Nov. 4 countywide referendum on raising the sales tax by 1% for transportation projects, Mecklenburg County residents are invited to learn more about transportation issues and the referendum.
Commissioner Susan Rodriguez-McDowell, District 6, invites the public to attend one of two scheduled community meetings: “The Whole Story on the Transit Tax.”
The community meetings (Sept. 25 and Oct. 9) will each feature a presentation from the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), a panel of community stakeholders with differing views, and information for residents to consider regarding the referendum. If approved by voters on Nov. 4, the funding stream produced by the 1% sales tax will be spent on Mecklenburg County transportation projects, such as roads, rail, and buses.
Interested residents are encouraged to RSVP for the Sept. 25 meeting by Monday, Sept. 22.
