Sandhills Local News | Moore County Commissioners Outline Major Projects and Priorities for 2026

Moore County Commissioners

Moore County leaders are setting the stage for major growth and investment as the Moore County Board of Commissioners outlined capital projects and long-term priorities for 2026 during a recent meeting in Carthage.

School Construction Bond Proposed

A key focus is a proposed school construction bond referendum expected to appear on the November ballot. County officials and Moore County Schools are discussing plans for a new elementary school in the Carthage area, a new high school, and possible renovations at Union Pines and Pinecrest High Schools, both of which have exceeded capacity.

Public Safety and Infrastructure Planning

Commissioners also reviewed plans for a new Pinehurst-area EMS base, downtown Carthage revitalization efforts, and long-term infrastructure improvements, including renovations to the historic Moore County Courthouse.

Looking Ahead

County leaders say additional planning milestones must be met before projects move forward, but the discussions mark a significant step toward shaping Moore County’s future.
