FUNDING PARTNERSHIP WITH HMBC HELPS FUND PROJECT WITHOUT TAX RATE INCREASE

In 2023, the City Council adopted a budget that incorporates $30.5 million in bonds to fund the construction of a new Department of Public Safety station and a Public Works facility, and the renovation of Towne Center Park. Due to a funding partnership between the Heath Municipal Benefits Corporation (HMBC) and the City, these projects will be funded without an increase to the tax rate.

The new Public Works facility is being built on the current City-owned site at 1284 FM 740. Weather permitting, construction should be completed by October 2025.
