trymahjong Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I heard a guy from www.parksbyyou.org at the Neartown meeting. He made a presentation concerning prop B on the NOv 6 ballot-a $166,000.00 bond initiative. $66mil to upgrade 13 Houston Parks, $100mil (there are matching funds also) to connect bayous with green space--a total of 150 miles.When talking about the benefits he cited a study from a UT professor that stated $70mil a year would be seen thru economic benefits (physical, mental environmental, and economic health) plus No tax rate increase to fund the project.
