City borrows for major projects funded by 1994 sales tax
The city plans to borrow about 27.1 million to accelerate five large public works projects funded by Douglas County’s 1 cent sales tax. Municipal Pool, East Lawrence Recreation Center, Clinton Lake Softball Complex, Centennial Park Recreation Center, and a health services complex are financed by the tax with debt to be repaid like a mortgage, enabling completion within years rather than decades.
