Members of the Montgomery City Council will consider advancing a new $375 million bond issue at their meeting on Tuesday.

According to Tuesday’s agenda, the city council will vote on a resolution expressing official intent to incur not-to-exceed $375,000,000 tax-exempt general obligation warrants, series 2026B.

The $375 million in bonds would go towards funding various city projects, a downtown arena and convention center expansion, and bond service fees.

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed has been a proponent of a downtown multi-purpose arena and expanded convention space. A preliminary step towards an expanded arena and convention space happened in December 2025 when a majority of the Montgomery City Council voted to purchase the former Montgomery Advertiser building.
