Voting for the project passed in 2017, demolition started in 2019 and according to a Q&A released by the city, parking deck projects like this typically take between one and a half to two years from “design to completion.” So why has this downtown deck dragged out more than twice as long?

The $300 million that voters approved in 2020 was expected to be enough to cover eight major school construction projects, plus land acquisition and design work for two more schools. Instead, school leaders are estimating needing another $170 million to complete the projects as planned, for a total of $470 million, or a cost increase of nearly 57%. And that estimate is still far from a finalized figure.
Greensboro, Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, Pleasant Garden, Gibsonville and Summerfield will benefit from the money.
