Impact analysis
About $72M in requests, mostly financed by borrowing, with debt service spread over 10-20 years to soften property tax and sewer rate impacts.
Residents benefit from maintained roads, schools, utilities, and vehicles — and from smoother tax and rate impacts.
Taxpayers ultimately bear the debt service through property taxes and sewer rates.
