OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - Residents in Oklahoma City will soon have the opportunity to help shape the 2025 bond program after city leaders ask for public input. According to City officials, they want to hear from residents as they plan a proposed infrastructure bond on the 2025 ballot. GO bonds are the City’s most important tool to fund major infrastructure projects like building or rebuilding streets, bridges, parks, police, fire facilities, and sidewalks, according to city leaders.

While we can’t meet every need across OKC’s 621 miles with a single GO bond election, we’re asking residents to help us identify priorities.” Other Headlines 5 takeaways from the Arizona Senate debate Kasey Alert issued for 34-year-old woman last seen in Wellston Kremlin confirms Trump sent COVID tests to Putin during pandemic Will we see northern lights, power grid impacts amid 'severe' geomagnetic storm?
