Population Growth

Because North Carolina is such a great state to live, work and play in, our state’s population growth has exploded over the past 10 years. That’s created a need for more infrastructure, but funding hasn’t kept up – North Carolina has a nearly $2.6 billion backlog of maintenance projects that need funding.

Consider we’re now home to more than 10 million people…

The growth means more and more people are using our transportation network leading to more significant congestion and more wear and tear on our roads and bridges.
