We sit down with Director of Strategic Initiatives, Mark Steuer, to discuss the General Obligation Transportation Bond before Nampa voters on May 21, 2024.Improving movement in and through Nampa is one of the top community-identified priorities shared in our annual survey. If approved by voters, the $38 million General Obligation Transportation Bond is not estimated to raise current funds collected by Nampa taxpayers, but be similar to the fees paid by the expiring general obligation bond. The bond is for the purposes of increasing public safety by funding improvements to certain roadways and pedestrian corridors within the City of Nampa.The following high-need projects have been identified for funding should the bond be approved by voters.
