El Paso County to Host Community Feedback Sessions on Potential Bond Proposal
El Paso, TX—El Paso County is exploring the possibility of going to voters for a capital improvement bond as early as November 2024. This second phase of public meetings follows up on their Multi-Year Capital Plan meetings held in March and April, which were used to gather input on the public's threshold for investment and the priority areas they would like the County to focus on. This next phase of in-person community feedback sessions will focus on gathering the public's opinion on the individual projects recommended by the County's Bond Advisory Committee. The proposed project list includes investments in critical public safety infrastructure and enhancements to County, regional, and neighborhood parks.
Commissioners Court has not decided whether to pursue a bond and is seeking community feedback. The decision is expected in late July or early August. If the Commissioners Court recommends a bond issuance, the decision could go to voters as early as November 2024. These bond proposal community feedback sessions will be held throughout El Paso County from May 29, 2024, to June 18, 2024.
