It’s been 40 years since Waco voters have passed a City bond election. Where would
Waco be today without our last successful bond that passed in 1967? We would not have
a Convention Center at all which has provided over $270 million into our local economy
(in direct, incoming dollars), or a low-water dam that significantly widened the Brazos.
That bond also brought three new fire stations, numerous roads and bridges, the Texas
Ranger Museum, park improvements and much more. On this site, read what today’s
citizens can offer to future generations by voting Yes May 12.

Convention Center circa 1971

It’s not just that we hate to lose (though one lost convention last year cost our economy $798,000). It’s that we know how much a top notch Convention Center could impact economic development for years to come. If we make these needed renovations, researchers estimate that the economic impact following renovations will reach to $2.1 million each year. And that money pays local salaries at hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and dozens of convention-related businesses like caterers, decorators, florists, A/V suppliers and others.
