The
El Dorado Works
PLAN
The people of El Dorado are determined to make our community a great American city. We believe that it is incumbent upon us to change the direction of population decline, job losses and business closings by creating an environment that offers opportunities for the residents of El Dorado and Union County. We want the amenities that come with a good quality of life; we appreciate the arts and entertainment; we enjoy our parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities; we want safe streets and sidewalks; and we understand the need to provide good jobs for those who live here, as well as for those who we hope to attract in the future. Based on the accomplishments of the El Dorado Forward plan that voters approved in 2007, this temporary one-cent 10-year general sales tax is dedicated to community development.
