Funding improvements

The big picture

$92.8M for street and road project improvements

The package is split into six propositions, with nearly half of the bond funding roads. Prosper Town Council members unanimously voted Aug. 12 to place the bond package on the Nov. 4 ballot. If approved by voters, Scott said the bond would not raise Prosper’s current property tax rate. Prosper ocials created a bond committee, which included 10 residents, in 2024 to identify key projects that should be included in the proposed bond election. Committee member Shane Funk said the group aimed to address immediate needs without adding costs for residents. “I’ve kind of watched [Prosper] go from 3,000 residents to where we are now and just explode,” Funk said. “Our community has grown so much that we need to do some of these things to facilitate the inux of people and then still balance some of the road and infrastructure [work], especially on the west side of town.” Funk said some projects, such as a new recreation center, were left for future initiatives, so the bond could focus on immediate priorities, such as roads. Director of Engineering Hulon Webb said at a July 22 meeting many of the road projects included are already under design, so they only need construction funding to move forward. If any propositions fail, Scott said council could look for alternative nancing, but road improvements would likely remain a priority. A new town library facility is among the bond’s priorities, which Library Director Gary Landeck said is highlighted by the rising service demands as the town has grown. “The library was never intended to stay in the space [within Town Hall],” Landeck said. “We’re trying to get ready for the future.”
