SB 149 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Henderson County/Blue Ridge CC Construction.

SB 149 authorizes Henderson County to construct community college buildings (including renovations and repairs) on Blue Ridge Community College's campuses within the county, overriding certain existing procurement laws. The county can finance these projects through bonds or state appropriations, with the college temporarily transferring property as security for financing (returned once paid off), and must lease completed buildings back to the college. This directly affects Henderson County (as the builder) and Blue Ridge Community College (as the lessee), requiring ongoing consultation between the county and college board during construction.
