Results from the Grapevine bond election Nov. 7 show Grapevine voters approved all three bond propositions that would create two new fire stations, renovations to the animal shelter, and renovations to the golf clubhouse and concourse.
Proposition A for the animal shelter renovations passed with a vote of 81.02 percent to 18.98 percent, with 2,843 votes for and 666 against.
The existing Grapevine animal shelter, which was built in 1992, will now be renovated and expanded. The new shelter will be more than 9,000 square feet compared with its current 2,856 feet.
“We appreciate our citizens’ support of Proposition A and are grateful our community believes as we do in the importance of the animal shelter and adoption center renovation and expansion,” said Amanda McNew, media manager for the Grapevine Police Department.
Proposition B for the relocation of fire stations Nos. 2 and 3 passed 87.89 percent to 12.11 percent, with 3,092 votes for and 426 against.
Fire stations Nos. 2 and 3 will be built at Dove Road and Kimball Avenue as well as at Timberline Drive, respectively. The Dove location will contain a backup dispatch center for the city, and the Timberline location will include a larger facility for life-saving equipment.
“We’re looking at 30- to 40-year investments here, and we’re extremely excited and thankful for the support from our citizens,” Fire Chief Darrell Brown said.
Proposition C for the golf course clubhouse and concourse remodel passed 50.23 percent to 49.77 percent, with 1,757 votes for and 1,741 against.
The golf center will be made into a multipurpose facility to include a banquet hall meeting space and restaurant as well as a clubhouse.
