“This is truly a community-driven plan, shaped by months of input from those who live, work, own businesses, raise families, and invest in this community. Calling this referendum election puts the choice directly in the hands of our residents on our spending priorities moving forward.

This proposal grew directly out of conversations with our community, and now Garland voters will have the final say.”
