Who Benefits
Residents across all council districts, with largest investments in Districts 1 and 5. Street reconstruction addresses 25 years of deferred maintenance since Grand Prairie's last bond in 2001.
Key Risk Signal
25-year bond gap creates Laredo-style political execution risk. The AAA credit rating is the strongest trust signal, but the city must demonstrate transparent project delivery from day one.
