Oklahoma City Voters Approve $2.7 Billion Infrastructure Bond After Sweep of 11 Propositions

City leaders say property-tax-backed bonds will fund priority repairs without increasing current rates.

Overview

  • The package funds nearly 600 projects across the city, including about $1.35 billion for streets and roughly $414 million for parks and recreational facilities.
  • Officials describe the debt as property-tax-backed and structured to keep current property tax rates unchanged.
  • City materials label about 76% of listed projects as critical infrastructure, with approximately 56% of funding directed to streets, bridges and traffic systems.
  • City engineers say hundreds of resurfacing, drainage and safety upgrades are queued to begin over the next decade, with work moving forward after election results are certified.
  • Other metro measures saw mixed outcomes, with Little Axe voters rejecting a high school bond and El Reno approving a school package, and all results remain unofficial until certification.
