Texarkana, Arkansas residents will soon decide on a $25 million infrastructure bond aimed at fixing streets and drainage issues. City Manager Tyler Richards says years of underfunding have left the city’s roads in poor condition, and while more money is now available for maintenance, a major boost is needed to catch up.
Most of the funds would go toward street repairs, with about $3 million earmarked for drainage improvements to reduce flooding. If approved, the bond would cost homeowners about $50 a year for every $100,000 in property value.
The special election is set for November 18, with public meetings planned to explain the proposal before voters head to the polls.
