How Eastover’s Incorporation Helps Us All
The residents of the proposed ‘Town of Eastover’ are seeking the support of all residents of Cumberland County for their municipal incorporation. If you believe Eastover should be able to determine its future, please let the members of the Local Legislative Delegation, the County Commission, and the Fayetteville City Council know.
For the City of Fayetteville, it’s about

Being able to focus City resources on its service liability in the newly annexed areas
Having the eastern gateway enhanced with Town of Eastover improvements
Viewing the short-term transfer of sales tax revenue as an investment in a thriving community
Promoting growth which increases the purchase of goods and services at city businesses, pays sales tax, pays city property taxes on the businesses owned by Eastover residents in the city, and invests money and skills in city businesses.
