City manager says upcoming bond will prioritize street repairs in older Grand Prairie neighborhoods
Summary
City Manager Bill Hills said a large portion of an upcoming bond election is earmarked for repairing streets in older parts of Grand Prairie; he emphasized balancing investments in growth areas with maintenance of established neighborhoods.
City Manager Bill Hills told the State of the City audience that an upcoming bond election will direct significant funding toward street repairs in older parts of Grand Prairie. "A large part of that bond election is going to be to repair the streets in the part of Grand Prairie that brought us to the dance," Hills said, stressing the city's intent not to neglect legacy neighborhoods.
Hills framed the bond as part of a dual approach: invest for future economic opportunities while addressing infrastructure needs where long-time residents live. He did not provide specific dollar totals or a ballot date on the show, and later remarks in the transcript reiterate that several announcements are still forthcoming.
