The City of Beaumont is preparing for a major investment in its future. On November 4, 2025, residents will vote on a $264.1 million bond program designed to modernize infrastructure, enhance public safety, and improve quality of life across neighborhoods. With five major propositions, the initiative represents one of the city’s most comprehensive efforts to address long-term community needs.

A Comprehensive Investment in Beaumont’s Growth

Proposition A – $58.1 million (Infrastructure & Drainage)
Funds $10 million for sidewalks, $28.1 million for drainage projects such as the W. Lukas Drive storm sewer rehabilitation and citywide ditch cleaning, and street rehabilitation across key corridors.

Proposition B – $118.5 million (Public Facilities & Safety)
Includes $7.9 million for a new Animal Adoption Center, $6.6 million to replace Fire Station #4 (built in 1954), $10 million for general facility improvements, $60.9 million for a new Police Station, $49.5 million for a multi-purpose sports and community complex, and $3.2 million for short-term improvements to the existing police station.

Proposition C – $47.3 million (Parks & Recreation)
Supports playground replacements at nine parks, major Tyrrell Park South Loop upgrades, restroom renovations, and enhancements at Athletic Complex #4.

Proposition D – $12.5 million (Riverfront Park Expansion)
Expands Riverfront Park with an amphitheater and storefronts to boost tourism, downtown activity, and local business growth.

Proposition E – $8.9 million (Transportation)
Extends Pointe Parkway North to improve mobility and open new economic corridors in Beaumont’s north end.

Delivering Results Through Accountability

Executing such a broad capital program will require disciplined planning, strong oversight, and transparent reporting. The city’s success will hinge on maintaining clear communication with residents, setting realistic timelines, and managing costs throughout the construction process.

The Growing Importance of Program Controls

In today’s environment, constituents expect visible accountability for every public dollar spent. Modern program controls—including integrated scheduling, accurate budget forecasting, and real-time progress dashboards—are now essential tools for cities managing large capital programs. These systems allow leaders to see cost trends early, coordinate multiple departments under one schedule, and provide public transparency through easy-to-understand reports and data visualization.

Beaumont’s bond program will span several years and multiple departments, making clear governance critical. A structured framework that connects financial management, project schedules, and performance metrics will not only prevent overruns but also strengthen public confidence in how projects are prioritized and delivered. With today’s expectations for data-driven transparency, maintaining accessible dashboards and consistent budget updates is no longer optional—it’s part of earning and keeping voter trust.

A New Era for Beaumont

If approved, Beaumont’s bond program will strengthen essential services, improve neighborhood connectivity, and lay the groundwork for decades of sustainable growth. It represents a forward-looking commitment to building a safer, more connected, and more vibrant city for generations to come.
