November Election for Road and Park Bonds

On August 8, 2023, the Williamson County Commissioners Court approved calling an election for two propositions on the November 7, 2023, General Election ballot.

The first is for voters to decide on whether or not to authorize the issuance of bonds not to exceed $825 million for roads. This proposition names 38 road projects located in all four county precincts that vary from right-of-way acquisitions to design to full construction.

The second is for issuing bonds not to exceed $59 million for parks and recreational improvements including trails. The park bond measure includes a mixture of proposed projects related to future parkland acquisition, facility development projects associated with Berry Springs Park and Preserve, Williamson County Expo Center and Twin Lakes Park, as well as several shared use path projects. 

Williamson County representatives will provide an overview of these proposed bonds.
