Proposed $10.55 million sewer bond election to be decided on Nov. 4

Early voting starts on Oct. 20
The Village of Salado will host a Town Hall meeting on the proposed Sewer Bond election at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Salado Intermediate School. The meeting was originally slated for Oct. 23 at the same location but was moved late in the day yesterday, after the print edition of the Salado Village Voice newspaper was printed and mailed.

The sewer bond proposal is at the bottom of a long ballot of state, region and county elections. Also on the ballot for Salado voters is a proposal for the “legal sale of beer and wine.”

While they may be at the bottom of the ballot, two local option elections have the piqued interest of Salado voters as Early Voting begins on Oct. 20: one concerning the Village of Salado issuing up to $10.55 million in bonds for construction of a sewer system and another concerning the legal sale of beer and wine.
