Community Facilities Bond
Chesterfield County is requesting a bond referendum (election) for Tuesday, Nov. 8. A bond referendum allows citizens to vote on the financing of the county’s long range capital plan. Voters will consider one question to approve key projects for schools, public safety, libraries and parks. An affirmative vote grants the county authority to issue general obligation (GO) bonds to finance a finite list of projects. The total amount of the bonds for which voter approval is sought is $540 million, including $375 million for school facilities and $165 million for other county facilities (public safety, libraries and parks).
