North High Point bond projects

Before we get to the news, I just wanted to say a quick hello. I'm Eric Swensen, the city government reporter in the High Point office. I'm usually posting at The Inside Scoop, but I'll drop in here every now and then when city leaders focus their attention on north High Point.

I had a story in today's paper about City Council approving a tax hike next year to pay for $73.65 million in bond projects approved by voters last November.

Here's a list of the projects that will be done in and around north High Point. If you have specific questions about any of them, post a comment and I'll try to find the answers you seek.

* Barrow Road widening: $6.6 million
* Oakview Road widening: $4 million
* Deep River Road/N.C. 68: $3 million
* Oak Hollow Marina building replacement: $280,000
* City Lake Park picnic shelters: $250,000
* Phillips Soccer Complex improvements: $750,000
* New north High Point recreation center: $2 million
