The City of Fort Worth will hold bond and charter elections on Saturday, May 2. The ballot will include six bond propositions and nine proposed charter amendments. Each measure will be voted on separately.
Residents in District 10 will also vote in a special election to fill a vacancy created by Councilmember Alan Blaylock's resignation.
Here is an overview of three of the bond propositions:
Proposition D: Affordable Housing
Proposition D is the Affordable Housing portion of the bond program, totaling $10 million. It would support the construction and rehabilitation of affordable owner-occupied and rental housing. Potential uses include purchasing vacant properties and paying toward infrastructure or site preparation to prepare the land for housing to be developed, providing assistance with repairs or rehabilitation and making loans or grants toward affordable housing.
