The $560 million bond package includes propositions funding capital projects in Fort Worth neighborhoods and business districts. If the bond propositions pass, it will have no direct impact on the tax rate and the city’s tax rate should not need to increase in order to repay the bonds.

Proposition A: $360,218,300 for streets and mobility-related projects.
Proposition B: $123,955,500 for park and recreation projects, including a new aquatics center in the Stop Six neighborhood and a rebuilt Forest Park Pool.
