为地方基础设施建立充足和永久的资金流. 

• Infrastructure – including roads, water, sewer, stormwater, 公园和海滩对经济发展和创造就业至关重要.

• Many cities in the state are growing, creating a constant need for investment to keep pace with population growth; many cities and towns also have aging infrastructure that must be replaced.​
  

• 为地方基础设施建设创造更持久的资金流, such as a dedicated tax source, would allow for better planning to meet needs.​
  

HEALTHY FINANCES

Provide local revenue options beyond property tax.

• 大约40%的市政基金收入来自地方财产税. 城市几乎没有权力通过其他方式获得可观的收入.

• A lack of diverse, local tax options can affect economic growth, 也会根据经济变化导致收入大幅波动. 

Expand incentives and funding for local economic development.

• 许多城镇的资金根本不足以鼓励就业增长.
  

• 国家赠款和奖励的目标往往不能帮助最需要创造就业机会的地区.
  

• Maintaining or expanding funding for film tax credits, major industrial site development, 市区发展和可再生能源税收抵免帮助了全州的城镇.​ 
  

​VIBRANT COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS

Expand federal and state resources for affordable housing.

• Housing affordability is a growing problem across North Carolina, 影响各种规模的城镇和不同收入水平的人群.
  

• Increasingly, 缺乏负担得起的住房是企业和劳动力招聘的主要障碍.
  

• 用于解决住房负担能力问题的州和联邦财政收入非常有限, with much of the burden for solutions left with cities and towns. 

通过加强法律工具和资金，振兴空置和废弃的房产.

• Abandoned and vacant properties, often the subject of so-called tangled titles, 是否会影响社区振兴地区和改善经济状况的能力.

• The abandoned properties, 加强法律工具，帮助继承人解决产权问题，并以市场价格出售房产, could help address local housing needs.

• 许多城镇没有足够的资金来处理废弃的房产.​
  

• Labor and materials costs have been rising at a rapid rate, 当项目投标和成本超出预期时，市政当局几乎没有选择.
  

• 订约程序方面的额外灵活性可以帮助市政当局保护纳税人免受通货膨胀和成本上升的影响.
  

• 如果没有合同法的灵活性，项目可能会被推迟，成本可能会进一步增加.​​
