Temple Voters to Consider $15 Million Bond for Sammons Community Center Replacement
Temple, Texas voters will consider a $15 million bond in November to fund the replacement of the nearly century-old Sammons Community Center due to identified structural concerns.
Waco Temple Bryan, TX, October 5, 2026 —
Voters in Temple, Texas, will head to the polls in November to decide on a proposed $15 million bond measure. The funding is earmarked for the replacement of the Sammons Community Center, a facility that has served the community for nearly a century.
The decision to propose the bond comes after the identification of significant structural concerns within the existing Sammons Community Center. The current building’s age, approximately 100 years old, has contributed to its deteriorating condition, prompting officials to seek funds for a new facility.
If approved by voters, the $15 million bond would cover the costs associated with constructing a new community center. Further details regarding the specific timeline for a new build or the precise nature of the structural concerns at the current center were not immediately available in the summary provided. The bond measure is scheduled to be on the ballot for consideration during the upcoming November elections.
