Registered Tempe voters will have the opportunity to decide whether to fund public safety and road improvements, quality-of-life enhancements in Tempe neighborhoods and new affordable housing. Voting takes place in conjunction with the Nov. 5 Statewide General Election. Included in the bond is funding to restore the pavement of every street in Tempe within five years, provide funds for infrastructure projects like water lines, improve neighborhood parks and increase the supply of affordable housing. The estimated average annual tax rate that is required to be calculated by statute for the proposed bond authorization is $0.87814 per $100 of net assessed value used for secondary tax purposes. Get additional information about the bond questions at tempe.gov/election or attend a public meeting. Four meetings are available. All are free and open to everyone.
