Phoenix City Council has approved the GO Bond recommendations for a citywide election scheduled for November 7, 2023. This marks the first bond issuance since 2006 and is seen as a significant investment in the city's future, focusing on public safety and economic development.

The bond program aims to upgrade public safety facilities, equip first responders with modern technology, and enhance emergency response capabilities. It also plans to invest in libraries, parks, streets, and economic development activities to improve residents' quality of life.

Todd Sanders, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Chamber, emphasized community involvement: “The Chamber encourages residents and stakeholders to actively participate in the process by providing feedback and suggestions throughout the implementation of the bond program.” He added that collaboration would help Phoenix grow as a vibrant city meeting its residents' evolving needs.

Residents will vote on adopting the GO Bond Program in a Special Election this November. A positive vote is seen as crucial for maintaining Phoenix's innovation leadership and supporting its economy and infrastructure.
