CONNECT NC Bond Projects
The Connect NC Bond Package includes $75 million for 45 state parks projects across the state.
The bond projects would enhance the visitor experience by:
- Offering newer and more diverse recreational experience, such as expanded and upgraded campsites, picnic areas, cabins, trails, day-use areas and facilities;
- Providing new and expanded visitor centers, classrooms, auditoriums, exhibits and other learning venues and experiences, and
- Acquiring lands and waters to protect key natural resources for conservation and public use.
