Mass Selection of Design Contracts Approved by Council
April 25, 2023
The City Council passed a resolution approving a list of street, parks, and public safety projects for the $125 million Bond 2022 Program, which was considered by the voters on November 8, 2022. The Bond Program will not require a City property tax rate increase.
On November 8, 2022, voters approved $92.5 million in Street improvements, $20 million in Park improvements, $2.5 million in Library improvements, and $10 million for Public Safety projects.
Projects are across the entire city with roughly the same amount of investment in each of the five City Council Districts.
Some of the guiding principles for project selection include:
- Major Citywide Signature Projects
- Rough Proportionality
- Improve Public Safety Facility
- Focused on Projects Creating Economic Development
- Enhance functionality of Recreational Areas
- Investment in Major Corridors
- Increase Road Capacity
- Increase Connectivity
- Project Continuation
The City of Corpus Christi has biennially approved and implemented two-year General Obligation Bond programs that consist of citywide infrastructure projects that are approved by the voters.
