The status of the Latino Cultural Center, which would cater to the ever-growing and diverse Latino population in Phoenix, is once again up for debate as the fate of the proposed arts and culture center is left in the hands of voters in the November special election.
The project was approved by the Phoenix City Council in December 2019 with an estimated cost of $12 million to be raised through a capital funding campaign. More than three years later, the city has now placed its fate — with an updated $21.6 million price tag — under a $500 million general obligation bond programcontingent on voter.
Under the GO Bond, the city would fund 47 improvement projects for parks, roads, fire stations, affordable housing and arts facilities across the city.
