While Orange County residents voted in the presidential and other races on Election Day, the majority also voted for two bonds – one to update safety and security features in schools, and another to create more affordable housing units.
The proposed bond designates $120 million to the school features, as well as updating infrastructures of the buildings. Another $5 million have been designated to create 1,000 affordable housing units throughout the county.
The school bond passed 75/25 and the affordable housing bond passed 66/34.
According to current projections, property owners will see property taxes increase to pay for the bonds.
The combined $125 million in bond packages is the largest in Orange County’s history.
