The Greater Arlington Chamber proudly supports the City of Arlington’s 2025 bond program. The Chamber believes investing in roads, public safety and the future of our city is an investment well made.

Over the last year, the 19-member Citizen’s Bond Committee reviewed potential projects and developed the bond program recommendation. During the process, the committee prioritized addressing  public safety equipment and facilities and transportation with 50% of the program dedicated to street improvements.

The proposed bond program includes 27 projects across five propositions, totaling $200.8 million. 94% of the program is dedicated to public works and public safety. The propositions include:

Proposition A | Streets: $136,995,000

Proposition B | Public Safety: $48,930,000

Proposition C | Parks and Recreation: $9,345,000

Proposition D | Downtown City Administrative Building: $3,105,000

Proposition E | Libraries: $2,425,000

The City of Arlington’s total debt for property tax value is under 2%. The City’s bond ratings are AA+ from Fitch (second-highest rating available), AAA from Standard and Poors (highest rating available), and Aa1 from Moody’s (second-highest rating available). Bond ratings measure how the financial world views the city as an investment risk.

“Arlington is an outstanding manager of debt,” Michael Jacobson, Chamber President & CEO, said. “The market sees Arlington as a well-managed entity and an incredibly sound investment.”
