Fayetteville Nonprofits May Feel Pinch Of State Budget Woes

The state budget problems seem to be contagious. Some nonprofit agencies in Fayetteville reportedly will soon feel the pinch of state cutbacks.

The city plans to withhold fourth-quarter payments totaling $130,000 from several nonprofit organizations. It is one way city leaders are trying to make up for the $2.9 million being withheld by the state.

The city has also put off plans to purchase new vehicles and build sidewalks and has implemented a hiring freeze.
