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.

This was our police station as it appeared in 1970. Except for more trees, it hasn't changed a bit. Great for 160 police personnel then. Less than adequate for twice that many now.

That 35-year-old police station at the corner of 5th and Waco Drive was built for 160 and now serves in excess of 330. You do the math! We’ve got to get moving and give our force an effective space from which to operate in the protection of our families, homes and businesses. A refurbishment won’t do it. And our City has found an existing building, centrally located that will cut the cost of building a new facility by more than half.
Read more to see what you’ll get for your money.

When and where.
(You know why.)
