What this tracks
This dataset records details about Missouri’s public bonds issued as of June 30, 2015, including project names, issuance dates, and bond amounts.
Why it matters to you
This data shows where Missouri has borrowed money for public projects like road improvements, which could affect future taxes or local infrastructure priorities. If your street is listed in the project descriptions, it tells you whether state-backed funding was allocated for repairs or upgrades. For business owners near transportation projects, this reveals whether long-term improvements (like road expansions) were financially committed years ago.
