Union County Officials have been kicking the can down the road for so long with our infrastructure that we’re about to face new tax increases. This video from Mayor Ronald Pappas provides a high-level overview of the schools and capacity.

Union County Officials have been Kicking the Can down the road for too long. The construction of a new school cluster is twice the cost today as it was just 5 years ago, and it will be even more expensive tomorrow.

When Union County officials fail to proactively plan for growth, especially in crucial sectors like schools and wastewater management, they will be facing heightened financial pressures that directly affect Waxhaw. Reactive interventions are generally costlier, and a surging population can place undue stress on existing infrastructure, leading to more frequent and expensive maintenance or replacements.
