Bond Vote Supports HemisFair 1968 Project in San Antonio
The special city election asks San Antonio voters to approve a 5.5 million general obligation bond to fund a HemisFair 1968 tower project. Residents must be within city limits with property on tax rolls and hold a 1986 poll tax receipt or exemption or a registration certificate. If approved, the city will build and own the tower financed by taxpayers, with an expectation the project could pay for itself and possibly profit if popular like Seattle's Space Needle.
