Why it matters
If approved, the bond funds would finance major projects, including a new roof, HVAC upgrades, plumbing improvements, and new medical equipment like a CT scanner and MRI machine. Supporters state the move allows county leaders to access funding sooner for critical needs without increasing taxes.
