Forney’s city government says unofficial results from the November 3 special election show voters did not approve Proposition A, a $49.5 million bond proposition for a proposed combined recreation center and municipal library.
The totals the city reported
The city’s announcement lists 4,498 votes in favor, or 48.04%, and 4,865 against, or 51.96%. That is a 367-vote difference in the reported totals. These are the city’s published unofficial figures, not a certification by this publication.
The next announced step
The statement says Forney City Council will canvass the election results at its regular meeting November 17. Residents following the proposal should check the city’s meeting information and subsequent announcements for the canvass and any future discussion.
What this means for residents following the project
The vote concerns a proposed combined recreation and library facility. The announcement does not describe an approved replacement proposal, a new construction schedule or a decision to pursue separate projects. It also does not establish why individual voters supported or opposed the measure. Those points should not be inferred from the result.
