Why Growth Matters

Orange County is facing increasing demands on schools, public safety, and infrastructure. A stronger, more diverse tax base can help fund essential services without placing additional pressure on homeowners and families.

Supporting Schools and Teachers

Stable revenue supports teacher retention, classroom resources, career and technical education programs, and long-term planning for school facilities and enrollment changes.

Strengthening Public Safety and Essential Services

Reliable funding helps ensure police, fire, rescue, and EMS have the staffing, training, equipment, and facilities needed to serve the community effectively.

Investing in Infrastructure

Growth can support roads, public facilities, utilities, and long-term infrastructure needs that have been deferred for years.

Responsible Growth and Community Character

Growth does not have to mean losing what makes Orange County special. Thoughtful planning, clear standards, and community input allow development that strengthens the county while preserving its rural character.
