Episode Details

Bladen County is eyeing a quarter-cent sales tax to fund a massive new complex designed to host sports, big events, and business meetings — potentially bringing in hundreds of thousands annually and spurring economic growth. While supporters see it as a shot in the arm for tourism, jobs, and local spending, skeptics demand proof the tax will directly benefit neighborhoods and create real career opportunities. County leaders are crafting a transparent plan to outline exactly how funds will be spent, with construction likely kicking off in 3-5 years — a long-term bet on the county’s future.
