~ The City of Tacoma has released a statement regarding the outcome of Proposition 1, a ballot initiative aimed at funding public infrastructure projects. According to the statement, although the votes have not yet been certified, it is highly unlikely that the measure will pass.
Maria Lee, the Media and Communications representative for the city, expressed understanding for the complex considerations facing voters, especially in light of the current economic climate where many are managing tight budgets. She also acknowledged the financial pressure that community members may be experiencing.
The proposition was seen as a significant opportunity to continue investing in essential systems that support the community's quality of life, safety, and future economic growth. However, without these dedicated funds, the city will struggle to keep up with its infrastructure needs and maintain improvements achieved under the current Streets Initiative, which ends in December 2025.

Looking ahead, it is anticipated that there will be a decrease in services as maintaining and upgrading infrastructure becomes increasingly challenging without dedicated funds. Despite this setback, the City remains committed to addressing Tacoma's infrastructure requirements.
The City Council will be actively exploring all available options moving forward. This includes considering bringing a revised funding measure back to voters at an appropriate time in the future. The city understands the importance of responsible fiscal management and will continue to seek solutions to best address its infrastructure needs.
In conclusion, while Proposition 1 may not have passed this time around, the City of Tacoma remains dedicated to finding ways to fund crucial public infrastructure projects and maintain its commitment to responsible fiscal management.
