- October Bridge Inspections. All 84 of our bridges are required to be inspected in Oct.. Egis was awarded a four-year contract to update the county plan, which is funded with federal dollars.
- Estimated Costs for repairs, maintenance, and some replacement costs can range from $12 to $ 14 million. Some federal and state money is available. For instance, the cost to replace the Elkinsville bridge is approximately $4 million, and we have been awarded a federal grant to initiate the new bridge design for this project.
- Capital Improvement Plan and Budget. We continue to improve upon our capital improvement plan and budget. This will also identify the costs for repairs and maintenance of all our buildings and grounds. We did have to borrow $4 million via a General Obligation (GO) bond in 2024, which will cover some of the costs of capital improvements. We are also working to build up the Rainy Day fund to cover future infrastructure costs, which may help prevent the need for another bond and lead to a reduction in property taxes.
