Collapse ▲The Robeson County Tobacco Research Referendum will be held on Thursday, November 18, 2021. According to Mac Malloy, the referendum is being held to let tobacco growers decide if they wish to continue the self-assessment program. This program has been in place since 1991, and the law requires a new referendum be held every six years. A two-thirds favorable vote will mean growers are willing to continue to assess themselves to support tobacco research and education. The assessment is ten cents per hundred pounds of tobacco produced in North Carolina. The funds, about $250,000 annually, are collected at buying stations by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and then allocated by the Tobacco Research Commission to research and extension projects for tobacco at NC State University.
Mac Malloy, County Referendum Chairman, said three polling places have been established in the County. The polling locations are as follows:
- North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center, located at 455 Caton Road (Hwy 72) Lumberton, NC, 28360. Hours of operation are 8:15 a.m.–5:15 p.m.
- Triangle Chemical, located at 200 Center Street Fairmont, NC, 28340. Hours of operation are 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m.
- Nutrien Ag Solutions, located at 5414 Hwy 211 East, Lumberton, NC, 28358. Hours of operation are 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
