Arkansas to decide on $500 million infrastructure measure
Arkansas voters will decide on a measure that would allow the state to borrow up to $500 million to fund water and infrastructure projects. Issue 4 would allow the state to issue up to $500 million in bonds to help pay for water systems, sewer improvements, flood control and other infrastructure improvement projects.
If Issue 4 passes, the new measure would take effect July 1, 2027. Arkansas would be limited to issuing $60 million in bonds every two years unless lawmakers approve more. According to the measure’s supporters, the funding is critical for communities across the state.
