FY2024-FY2029 Adopted Capital Improvement Program

FY2024 Adopted Budget Capital Improvement Program

Highways

Like most County departments, the Highway Department has seen a dramatic increase in the level of need for its services over the past decade. Most of the increases are due to a significant amount of growth in a relatively short period of time. The increased growth has caused an acceleration of the wear and breakdown of these roads. With normal use, a paved surface should last between 10-20 years. Currently, the County is responsible for the maintenance of approximately 1,301 centerline miles of roads.
