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.

Knox Hall's dramatic new entrance with floor-to-ceiling windowscapes facing the river is just one improvement of many.

If you’re like most business folks, civic volunteers or wedding reception attendees, you’ve probably attended more than a few events at Knox Hall. It now hosts as many as 155 events a year, but it’s gotten to sad sack status in some ways we should repair. With no fire suppression system, water stained interior woodwork, a primitive catering kitchen, inadequate restrooms and other deficits, Knox Hall — which the City owns — should be renovated for the revenue it generates and for the lovely facility we might all enjoy.
Read more to see what you’ll get for your money.

When and where.
(You know why.)
