Residents of Austin are invited to attend a series of open house meetings about the proposed 2026 bond projects. The meetings will offer information on the bond and allow attendees to share their feedback, which will help shape final recommendations for the bond package.
The schedule for participation includes several in-person and virtual options: Montopolis Recreation Center on Tuesday, February 17 from 4–8 p.m.; Northwest Recreation Center on Saturday, February 21 from 10 a.m.–2 p.m.; a virtual meeting on Tuesday, February 24 from 11 a.m.–1 p.m.; Permitting and Development Center on Wednesday, February 25 from 4–8 p.m.; and Conley-Guerrero Senior Center on Saturday, February 28 from 11 a.m.–3 p.m.
According to the City, these discussions are intended to ensure that the bond package meets the needs of Austin’s diverse communities. Community members are encouraged to share their thoughts on what projects should be considered.
