Houston County approves $300M Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan
Summary
The Houston County Board of Commissioners adopted a Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for FY2027–FY2031 that anticipates about $300 million in capital projects, noting primary funding sources as SPLOST ($140M) and enterprise funds ($112M); board action is planning-only, not an appropriation.
The Houston County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 18 unanimously approved a Five‑Year Capital Improvement Plan (FY2027–FY2031) outlining roughly $300 million in anticipated county capital expenditures over the next five years.
Commissioner Byrd, who presented the plan, said the document was the most robust and accurate CIP he had seen and indicated it will be posted online for public review. Chairman Perdue said the plan’s primary funding sources are SPLOST ($140 million) and enterprise funds ($112 million) and thanked Public Works staff for planning work on landfill and water-system expansions to serve growing areas of the county.
Board members emphasized that approval of the CIP is not an appropriation of funds; individual projects will still require annual budget approvals, separate project approvals, grant awards, or other board action before money is spent. The motion to approve the plan passed on a motion by Mr. Byrd, seconded by Mr. Gottwals, and carried unanimously.
