Goal 1: Safe & Secure Community
Executive Summary:
Update the community on progress towards major construction projects. The City is using multiple outside firms to enhance project delivery methods and project management efficacy.
Background:
In March 2016, Fayetteville voters passed a $35 million bond referendum for parks and recreation. Several projects have been completed. The completed projects include Senior Center East, the Bill Crisp Senior Center, D. Gilmore Therapeutic Center, Rowan Street Skateboard Park, Jordan Soccer Complex improvements, multiple splash pads, Deep Creek Road Community Center and renovations to several parks. The major projects currently in progress include the Courts at Glenville Lake Tennis Center, McArthur Road Sports Complex, Cape Fear River Park, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park. All of these remaining projects are either nearing completion or in design phase.
In 2022, Fayetteville voters passed a $60 million bond referendum for public safety needs. Projects identified are a 911 PSAP facility and several fire stations. Fire Station 16 design is underway. 911 PSAP programming and planning are underway while conversations with Cumberland County continue regarding consolidation interests. Land acquisition has taken place, and an architect selected for Fire Station 9 and planning and design will follow. Fire Station 2 is currently being explored as a renovation project.
