Bond Projects

In November 2004 the Texas Southmost College taxing district (Cameron County, including Brownsville ITD, Los Fresnos ISD and Point Isabel ISD) voted for a $68 million bond package to build new facilities on the UTB/TSC campus. Along with other revenue streams, this action will result in six new buildings, several remodeling projects and various capital improvements.
