In March, North Carolina voters will decide on a proposed $2-billion Connect NC bond package that would enable statewide investments in higher education, safety, parks, recreation, and water and sewer infrastructure improvements.

The Connect NC bonds would allow the state to pay for 50-year assets with 20-year financing and require no tax increases. If approved by voters, more than half of the bond revenues will fund improvement and expansion projects across the 17-campus University of North Carolina. Specific to the UNC School of Medicine, $68 million would go toward the creation of a new medical education building to replace Berryhill Hall. To learn more about how UNC-Chapel Hill would use the bond funds, please visit http://carolinabond.unc.edu. The UNC Board of Governors has endorsed the bond package for the university.
