Carolinians Call For Zoo Construction Bond Election
Bills in both houses seek a 2 million zoo construction bond election with voters deciding in 1971 or 1972. Lt. Gov. Taylor backs the plan, saying the zoo would be a state asset. The NC Zoo Authority designated Purgatory Mountain near Asheboro as the site. A backup bill would let the Construction Finance Authority issue 2 million in revenue bonds without a vote. Other measures include a fisheries study commission and tax incentives for export facilities.
