MCBA's Capital Bond Transparency Recommendations

On Friday, March 8, MCBA President and CEO Louis Darrouzet submitted an official letter containing seven recommendations for transparency and expenditure as a response to the city's proposed $1.25 billion Capital Bond. The city council's proposal should deeply concern the business community and all Dallas taxpayers, as it will place the city in an unsustainable financial position for years to come.

As a Community, We Need to Help Those Around Us Who Need Help

Dallas City Council Member Zarin D. Gracey held another community meeting about the latest potential plans for a vacant hospital property at 2929 South Hampton Road.

The city of Dallas purchased the 12-acre property in 2022 for $6.5 million, using bond funds designated for homeless housing.

The purchase of the facility and land was specifically aimed at providing permanent housing and key services on-site for formerly homeless individuals, according to the city.

The property has sat vacant for two years as residents have continued to voice their opposition citing a lack of communication about the project beforehand, as well as safety concerns and the area's need for affordable single-family housing instead.
