This bill appropriates $1.5 million in nonrecurring funds from the General Fund to the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources for specific trail and greenway projects in the Town of Davidson during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Specifically, $1 million is allocated for constructing portions of the Carolina Thread Trail, which will connect Davidson to trail segments in Iredell and Cabarrus Counties, and $500,000 is designated for building segments of the West Branch Nature Preserve Greenway within and connecting to the Town. The bill exempts these appropriations from the standard budgeting requirements outlined in G.S. 143C-5-2, and the funding will become effective on July 1, 2025. This legislation aims to support regional trail connectivity and enhance outdoor recreational infrastructure in the specified counties by providing targeted grant funding to the Town of Davidson.
