Many local government capital improvement bond packages in Tarrant County and the voter campaigns run in support of them have been financially supported by the Real Estate Council of Greater Fort Worth.
The bond packages, if approved by voters, fund many improvement initiatives. Roads and streets, new schools, water infrastructure, courthouses, and more are funded from these packages.
We are now compiling update information (where publicly available) about several of these bond program initiatives for the benefit of our members. These items will be updated biannually.
What is the Completion Status of these Bond Packages?
The chart below shows what proportion of projects detailed in the various bond programs are in the following stages of completion: funds allocated, planning, construction, and completed.
Note - Due to federal funding schedules, the Tarrant Regional Water District does not have any funds allocated or spent from the 2018 Special Bond Election for Panther Island/Central City. However, the project has recently received a vast majority of needed federal funding therefore, we expect to have a more robust report with our next update.
How much of Each Bond Package has been Spent So Far?
This graph depicts the amount of the bond package awarded versus spent. It is worth noting that some of the "Amounts Spent" exceed the "Amounts Awarded" due to various matching fund formulas.
