Overview
- County officials said Friday that Proposition 409 passed after a narrow count, with just over 51% support reported.
- The bond funds a new 200-bed behavioral health hospital, expanded outpatient capacity, and additions at the main Valleywise campus.
- Measure details allocate about $220 million for the psychiatric facility, roughly $500 million for outpatient projects, and $177 million for hospital expansions.
- The Prop. 409 campaign says the average homeowner would pay about $29 more per year in property taxes over 30 years.
- Standard post-election processes, including curing, audits and the canvass, continue as some municipal bond questions in Avondale and Glendale remained very close in recent tallies.
