Roanoke calls bond election for convention center – Cross Timbers Gazette | Southern Denton County | Flower Mound

Earlier this month, the Roanoke City Council voted unanimously to call a bond election to fund a convention center project.

The comprehensive project includes a boutique hotel and parking structure in the vacant space east of City Hall. The convention center is the only part of the project that would require voter approval, according to a news release from the city. That project replaced the canceled plans for a Peabody Hotel and “is the final piece in the city’s strategic development plan for the downtown area,” the city said in a statement in December 2024.

The $62 million bond will appear on Roanoke residents’ ballots in the May 3 General Election. The city said it will host town hall meetings to discuss the project details in early March and will soon have an informational website available to learn more.

_{We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse India’s ruling party BJP and India’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping India a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying India its right in the world…}

_{BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in India is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from India or pertaining to that country.}
