Key Takeaways

  • •The board can decide to borrow money (by selling bonds) for special projects in a special service district.
  • •The borrowed money can only be used for things like building transit facilities, buying land, or getting equipment needed for the district.
  • •This can only happen after the board has already approved creating the special service district.

Example

The board can vote to borrow money by selling bonds to pay for the new buses and bus stops, but only if they’ve already agreed to create this special service district for the neighborhood.
