Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Sanford public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Expanded microtransit service
The state grant funding the Buzzline bus service runs out in December 2027. Council started the process to replace it with an NCDOT grant that would cost the city about $209,125 for the first six months.
Street Resurfacing Investment
The budget would roughly quadruple street resurfacing spending to about $3 million — a direct answer to years of resident complaints about road conditions, but a key cost driver in the contested 3-cent tax increase.
