Commission hears updated revenue forecast, staff warns $4M reallocation reduces capital available to about $26M Officials reported an updated Article 39 sales-tax projection of $30.05 million for the fiscal year but said a prior $4.0 million reallocation to operating expenses will leave roughly $26 million available for school capital; staff previewed a $56 million share of a 2026 debt issuance that would add about $4 million in annual debt service starting FY27.

Buncombe County's School Capital Fund is facing a significant crunch, with only $26 million left to spend after a $4 million reallocation to operating expenses despite a promising $30 million sales-tax projection.
