Abstract:

From the Virginia border to the South Carolina line Intestate 95 runs 182 miles through eight North Carolina counties. It is an aging highway and needs $4.4 billion in upgrades. It is felt that businesses would lose ten times that amount in future decades. Local business leaders indicate that the most logical way to raise the money is tolls--a proposal that is met with great outcry from the public.
