LEXINGTON, N.C. – Davidson County voters will face a decision in November on a multi-million dollar bond package.

  • $11 million in improvements to the county's existing facilities
  • $30 million dollars for renovations to the county's three school systems
  • Proposal for a $40 million sports complex

The plan includes $11 million in improvements to the county's existing facilities, including schools, parks and a new sports complex.

"It’ll include bathrooms, ballfields, lighting, trails, those kinds of things," said Casey Smith, Davidson County’s Assistant County Manager.

There's also a proposal for a $40 million sports complex, which should attract baseball and other tournaments.

Smith says it should have some long-term benefits for the county.

"For a lot of families the idea is they'd have to have somewhere to stay, lodge and eat. It would create more of those businesses," said Smith.

There's also $30 million dollars for renovations to the county's three school systems, including roofs and HVAC systems.

The county is scheduled to have a public hearing on the bonds on Aug. 14.
