LSC_Brochure 8/26/02 12:15 PM Page 1 Q&A Q. What will my contributions be used for? A: Donations will be used for design and construction of the Greenway system. The Greenway Master Plan currently calls for 185 miles of greenway throughout Mecklenburg County, of which 25 miles are presently complete. Q: When will the system be completed? A: It depends on the funding. The only sources of construction dollars at present are your contributions, and bond proceeds. The Greenway competes with other critical county funding needs (schools, roads, social services) and may not always receive top priority. Your contributions are therefore crucial to making this happen! Q: Where can I get information on the Greenways?
