Event Description:
It’s so important for everyone – especially business people – to cast their ballot, during early voting or on Nov. 8. 
 
If you’re an Orange County voter:
The Chamber has endorsed both bond referendums on Orange County ballots:
  • $120 million for capital needs Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and Orange County Schools
  • $5 million for affordable housing.

If you’re a Durham County voter:
Learn more about the bond referendum supporting $20 million in construction at Chamber Major Investor Durham Tech Community College.  Funding will support, among other priorities, a 20,000 to 30,000 square foot expansion of a campus building to provide additional space for Automotive Systems and Construction trades as well as relocate classrooms and labs for Industrial systems, Architectural Technology and other industrial and engineering technology programs.  Learn more at durhamtech.edu/vote.htm
 
If you’re a Wake County voter:
The Regional Transportation Alliance (RTA) – of which our chamber is a founding member – is urging all Wake County citizens to vote for the Wake Transit Referendum.  Learn more at letsgetmoving.org/WakeTransit and support the Moving Wake County Forward Campaign at movingwakeforward.com.
