Three city of Charlotte bond referendums to create affordable housing and make street and neighborhood improvements handily passed, unofficial election results show.
The “yes” votes for $226 million in bonds captured more than 73% percent of votes, according to tallies from the North Carolina Board of Elections with all precincts reporting.
Bonds for affordable housing passed 73.96% to 26.04%; street improvements 77.19% to 22.81%; and neighborhood improvements 77.14% to 22.86%.
