Water System Sale Proceeds Restricted to Capital
Carteret County
Summary
About $7.5 million from the water system sale is now formally set aside for capital projects instead of sitting in an unrestricted account. It could fund things like the jail, parks, or courthouse work — but a future board could still redirect it with a majority vote.
