County Sells Bonds for NASA Road Financing
Harris County sold bonds totaling 218.8 million to finance access roads to the Manned Spacecraft Center and to buy right of way for county roads. The contract for 7.8 million road bonds and 21 million right of way bonds was awarded to Harris Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago at about 4.31 percent. County Auditor S. B. Brice said the sale won’t raise taxes this year due to retirement of old bonds. The funds will extend East Belt Drive and Fairmont Parkway West and continue to support MSC access roads and the Intercontinental Airport project.
