CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — At the regularly scheduled business meeting, Corpus Christi City Council passed a resolution approving a list of the street, park, library, and public safety projects for the $125-million Bond 2022 program proposed to be considered by the voters on November 8. The bond will not require a city property tax rate increase.

City staff spent the last several months developing a project list from needs identified, in part, within the city’s 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). In addition to the CIP, the staff also engaged with stakeholder groups across the city to discuss the community’s areas of need.

The 32 projects recommended to be considered by voters include $92.5 million in street reconstruction, $20 million in park improvements, $10 million for public safety projects that include two fire stations and two police sub-stations, and a $2.5-million library project.

“While we continue to promote Corpus Christi as a destination city in Texas and attract significant business investments, we will remain focused on infrastructure projects,” said Mayor Paulette Guajardo.

Bond 2022 continues to build on the success of Bond 2020. All 42 projects approved in the Bond 2020 program are currently in design.
