Most Dallas voters will see two measures labeled “Proposition A” on the November 3 ballot, and both have a direct bearing on the hotel and hospitality community. Dallas County Proposition A would create sustainable countywide funding to expand proven homelessness solutions, with county oversight, independent audits, and public reporting. City of Dallas Proposition A is a $443 million bond package for public safety improvements and facilities, including fire, police and emergency services.
Together, they address two issues our guests, employees and neighbors notice every day: visible homelessness and the strength of our public safety infrastructure. Join the Hotel Association of North Texas on Tuesday, October 6, at 3 p.m. for a virtual briefing on what each measure does, how they differ and what they mean for the business districts and neighborhoods where our members operate. Special guests are Sarah Kahn, CEO of Housing Forward, and Tristan Hallman, Vice President of Public Policy & Strategic Communications at the Dallas Citizens Council. Early voting runs October 19 through October 30.
