Residents will vote on a proposed bond program and an update to the General Plan

On May 22, the Goodyear City Council approved to move forward with a proposed General Obligation (GO) Bond program of $232 million. A citizens committee, formed earlier this year, evaluated and prioritized proposed projects and developed a GO Bond Program recommendation. The money would be used to fund projects for transportation, public safety and parks and recreation.

Goodyear voters will vote on the proposed bond program in a special election in November. GO Bond programs help to fund critical infrastructure. The city’s last bond election was in 2004. For the latest election information, visit goodyearaz.gov/elections.

Goodyear residents will also vote on an update to the city’s General Plan in 2024. The General Plan acts as the foundational policy document that guides the future vision of the city for the next decade. The city started the process of updating its general plan in January 2022 and is currently receiving final community input.
