Making Raleigh Home
There`s more than just candidates on the ballot tomorrow. 🗳️ Wake County voters will also weigh in on five bond referendums totaling nearly $1.1 billion in proposed local borrowing—from schools and affordable housing to transportation and parks. And while some wouldn`t require a tax hike, others could hit homeowners in the wallet.
Which ones you`ll actually see on your ballot depends on where you live. Here`s the breakdown:
🏠 Raleigh Affordable Housing Bond | NO TAX HIKE REQUIRED
$101.5 million to fund various affordable housing projects such as new construction, homebuyer assistance and homelessness response efforts.
🚘 Raleigh Transportation Bond | NO TAX HIKE REQUIRED
$101.5 million for transportation improvements such as walking and biking networks, BRT infrastructure, and traffic-calming and intersection safety in neighborhoods.
✏️ Wake County School Bond | Est. $21 per *year* property tax increase
$680 million for Wake County Public Schools construction and repairs.
🎓 Wake Tech Bond | Est. $3.52 per *year* property tax increase
$149.1 million for workforce training programs, technology and campus renovations.
🛝 Knightdale Parks & Recreation Bond | Est. $122 per *year* average property tax increase
$55 million to fund a recreation complex in Knightdale.
To see your sample ballot and determine which bonds you have a say in, visit the link in bio.

Raleigh, meet the future of parking. 🤖🚗 North Carolina`s first underground robotic parking garage is taking shape in DTR—and yes, it parks your car for you. Now under construction as part of phase 2 of mixed-use development City Gateway, the fully automated garage lets drivers simply pull into a loading bay and walk away. From there, the robotic system takes the wheel—literally—transporting vehicles underground and storing them until their owners return.
No circling for a spot. No squeezing into tight spaces. No parking yourself. 👀 Get the scoop on Raleigh`s futuristic new garage at the link in bio.
