Kendall County voters will decide on another bond measure

Kendall County Commissioners approved putting a $20 million bond issuance to purchase land for conservation on the November 8 ballot during their regularly scheduled Monday meeting.

The Boerne City Council formally called for a $36 million bond issuance during its last council meeting, which fell just one week before the deadline. The proposal includes parks and road improvements which will be broken down into two measures.

A $23 million road infrastructure measure would include the complete rehaul and widening of Adler Road, along with other road and intersection improvements. The remaining $13 million would be earmarked for covering the cost of developing Northside Community Park.
