The county called a $412 million roads and $35 million parks bond Aug. 6 following a recommendation to do so from a nine-member Citizens Bond Committee. The committee met six times from March through June to evaluate whether the county should consider bond elections for roads and parks.

In June, the committee unanimously approved recommending calling the election and suggested road projects totaling more than $573 million and parks projects totaling just over $67.5 million.

The scope and amount of projects was reduced by the Williamson County Commissioners Court before calling the election.

Williamson County voters previously approved the sale of bonds for roads and parks in 2000, 2006 and 2013, county officials said. In those elections, county voters passed bond packages for roads that constructed a total of 165 projects adding 301 new capacity lane miles and completed nearly 551 lane miles. The park bonds secured 3,559.5 acres of parks and preserves and 37 miles of trail, and it expanded facilities at the Expo Center and at county parks, officials said.
