HB 221 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Tabor City/Railroad Revitalization Project.

HB 221 authorizes the Town of Tabor City to access state and federal railroad revitalization programs to maintain or improve rail service to the town. The bill allows Tabor City to use local property taxes and up to 10% of project costs from town funds - matched by state funds under G.S. 136-44.38 - to support these programs. It specifically enables the town to contract with the North Carolina Department of Transportation for railroad improvements, with all provisions limited to Tabor City. This bill creates a framework for local funding participation but does not mandate specific rail upgrades or changes to existing service.
