Arlington leaders set big bond package for fall ballot
In their last significant action before heading off on a nearly two-month hiatus, Arlington County Board members on July 23 sought Circuit Court approval to place five local bonds totaling just over $272 million on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Both court authorization and voter approval of the package are largely assured, the former being essentially pro-forma and the public not having turned down a single Arlington bond issue in 45 years.
On the ballot will be:
• $72.4 million for transportation, including Metro.
• $25.8 million for parks and recreation.
• $76.2 million for community infrastructure.
• $14.2 million for utilities.
• $84 million for schools.
