The Democrat says the combined $396 million will improve the quality of life in Prince William County.
“We need to address roads because our traffic is impacting commutes and quality of life,” Zargarpur told me.
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors identified a list of road ($355 million) and park ($41 million) projects that would be funded by the bonds.
- Voters will have a chance to approve the bonds on Election Day Tuesday, November 5.
Why it matters: If approved, the bonds represent the largest investment in county infrastructure in at least 10 years.
Why the School Board should care: A current funding agreement in place between the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and the School Board, the schools would get 57% of all new tax monies raised to pay back bonds.
- That could be as much as a half-billion dollars in new taxes, Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, At-large told me.
