NC Folk Fest and FIFA Funds.
HB 623 allocates $500,000 in state funds to the City of Greensboro for two specific purposes. $250,000 covers security, law enforcement, and transportation for Greensboro’s role as a training camp host for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The remaining $250,000 supports expenses for the 2025 North Carolina Folk Festival. The bill becomes effective July 1, 2025, and directly affects Greensboro’s event planning and budgeting for these two events.
