Anna, Texas — On November 3, Anna voters approved Proposition A, authorizing the City to issue up to $60 million in bonds to build and improve streets across the community, according to unofficial results from Collin County Elections.
The vote is an investment in the city Anna is becoming. The new neighborhoods, schools and businesses that have come with Anna’s growth have put more traffic on streets originally built for a much smaller town. Proposition A gives the City the funding to build roads that serve the community today and in the decades ahead.
“We are grateful to every Anna neighbor who took the time to vote on the future of our streets,” said Mayor Pete Cain. “Our neighbors see the traffic on their drive to work and school every day, and this vote gives us the means to keep pace. We will earn the community’s confidence by showing exactly where every dollar goes.”
Bond funds will pay for new roadway construction, street improvements, sidewalks, curbs, drainage and accessibility upgrades. Where needed, projects may also replace the water, wastewater and drainage lines beneath a street, so the work below the road is completed at the same time as the work above it.
The City Council identified these projects during several public meetings, guided by current road conditions, the City’s adopted plans and approved development. Bond funding allows Anna to complete this critical work sooner than funding it year by year, and to build before construction costs rise further.
The City expects to issue the bonds in phases over approximately four years, borrowing as projects are ready to move forward, which spreads the tax impact gradually. Estimated tax information is available at annatexas.gov/Bond2026.
The work begins with a citywide assessment of pavement conditions, now underway, which will help set the order of repairs and guide long-term maintenance. The City will maintain a project-by-project schedule showing how bond funds are allocated and will share progress through City Council meetings, the City’s website and social media channels.
