In November 2020, Tolleson voters approved a bond election for $21 million general obligation bonds for the construction of an aquatic facility.
At its recent general meeting, the Tolleson City Council approved the issuance of the bonds, which will partially fund the now-estimated $32 million cost of the aquatic center, a facility expected to consist of three pools, outdoor recreational areas, indoor classrooms, a gymnasium and a fitness center.
The general obligation bonds will fund most of the facility; $10 million from the general fund and a $1 million private donation from JBS USA will supplement the bond funds and fund the aquatic center.
