On May 12, 2012 San Antonio voters will have the opportunity to vote on $596 million in capital improvements – better streets, safer sidewalks, reduced flooding and new and improved parks, libraries, fire stations and museums – all over the city. This is an opportunity to invest in San Antonio’s future, but only if voters step up and vote yes on the City of San Antonio 2012-2017 Bond Program. Here are five reasons to vote yes and Build SA Now:
- Most of the bond money – $465 million, or 78 percent of the total package – will be spent on urgent infrastructure needs
- The Bond Program will allow the City to make these improvements without raising taxes
- The 140 projects in the Bond Program were selected by the community
- A Citizens’ Oversight Committee will oversee the Bond Program to ensure funds are spent properly
- This investment in our city will create thousands of local jobs
