NC's $34B Budget Breakdown | Fayetteville News

North Carolina just approved its largest state budget ever—$34 billion—with big-ticket items like hurricane relief, pay raises, and tax cuts, but also some surprisingly specific allocations: a $90K pickleball court in Godwin (pop. 100+), $30M for Greensboro Coliseum upgrades, and funding for Miracle League and Kernersville Little League. The budget also includes $1.5M for crisis pregnancy centers, $3.3M for the Human Coalition, and major museum boosts—$31M for the State History Museum, $4M for Natural Sciences, $4.4M for the Art Museum, and $435K for a Waccamaw Siouan cultural center. Education gets a major push too: $15M for Methodist’s new medical school, $109M for ECU’s medical school expansion, and $20M for NC State’s semiconductor research.
