More Info About Bonds

In the October election, registered voters in the city limits of New Bern will decide on a proposed $24 million bond referendum to fund citywide improvements in streets & sidewalks ($10 million), parks & recreation ($8 million), and stormwater ($6 million).

The City of New Bern is hosting a series of public engagement opportunities for voters to learn more about the bond and to ask questions.
