BEAUMONT, Texas — Beaumont city council members and Mayor Roy West approved a comprehensive bond package that will appear on the November ballot, marking the city's first bond election in 43 years. The package includes multiple propositions totaling $264 million, with an estimated cost to taxpayers of about $14.25 per month for every $150,000 in property value, according to the city.

The bond package encompasses five major areas: infrastructure improvements, public safety facilities, recreational amenities, and two specific roadway extensions. However, the highly anticipated Dowlen Rd extension project was removed from the final package to keep costs within the target parameters.

Mayor West visited 12News on Wednesday morning to provide more insight into the bond package.
