City staff, consultant present debt capacity and a five‑year capital plan; $6–6.5M rolling‑stock borrowing proposed
Summary
Consultants told the Goldsboro council the city is in compliance with its debt policies, has capacity to borrow for capital projects and is proposing roughly $6–6.5 million in rolling‑stock and equipment financing, likely repaid over 5–10 years.
