end
BACKGROUND
Background
Session Law 2015-277 requires local governments to issue notice and hold a public hearing prior to approval of any appropriation for economic development pursuant to NCGS 158, Article 1. Previously, such hearings were required only when an economic development appropriation was related to real property or to an incentive payment for private businesses. The statutory changes standardize the treatment of appropriations for economic development by making all appropriations subject to public hearing requirements.
