Summary
Mayor Harold Copenhaver reported a multimillion-dollar street maintenance and overlay program and multiple state highway projects, estimating more than $125,000,000 in infrastructure improvements coming online over the next three years, with some state projects due in late winter/early spring 2027.
Mayor Harold Copenhaver provided a detailed infrastructure report, saying the city's multimillion-dollar street maintenance and overlay program is well underway. He listed streets already completed or in progress and cited several state-led projects: the Dr. Martin Luther King Eastern Bypass (approximately 72% complete, expected late winter/early spring 2027), the Highway 351 airport overpass (about 88% complete), and Highway 351 intersection improvements (approximately 57% complete) with additional widening and connector-road planning in 2027.
Copenhaver said the city's projects and partnered state projects represent more than $125,000,000 in infrastructure investment expected to come online within about three years. He thanked council for support, noted an open bid on South Caraway Road that came in on target with internal estimates, and said these projects are funded by the city's revenue bond program.
