- First streets/safety bond since 2001
- AAA credit rating (S&P March 2026)

The Trust Variable
Laredo's $417M bond failed at ~85% against after a 32-year gap. Grand Prairie's 25-year gap creates the same trust risk.
Why the AAA Rating Matters
The AAA rating from S&P (March 2026) is Grand Prairie's strongest trust credential. It signals fiscal discipline even during a 25-year bond gap.
Southern Sector Service Gap
There is no fire station in the SH 360/US 287 corridor. Prop B addresses this gap directly.
