Proposed Civil War History Center Would Need $15 Million From Local Taxpayers

From the February 12, 2016, Fayetteville (NC) Observer by Andrew Barksdale.

There is a proposed Civil War Center for Fayetteville which will cost $65 million.  The organization is asking Fayetteville and Cumberland County $7.5 million apiece.

This is the first of four fundraisers.  They have raised $6 million so far.

the second phase is on now with a goal of $5 million.  The third phase will involve the money from Fayetteville and Cumberland County.

The North Carolina General Assembly will pay the rest.
