As federal support is cut and public conservation efforts fall short in reaching rural Black farmers, one Black-led organization is creating new lifelines to protect historic legacies.
In Tuesday, March 18th's Budget, Finance, and Economic Development (BFED) Committee, Commissioner of General Services Chris Ford will present an overview of how the city plans for the maintenance of LFUCG infrastructure and facilities.
The presentation outlines two primary processes for maintaining City infrastructure and facilities.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) sets a maintenance plan for buildings, roads and bridges, technological equipment like fiber optic cables, and other LFUCG assets.
The Capital Project Management (CPM) process primarily manages new capital projects from inception to completion for LFUCG.
Parks and Recreation, the Fire Department, and the Corrections Department oversee their own capital project management and maintenance. All other Divisions and Departments are managed under the general CIP and CPM programs and plans.
The presentation includes the CIP for Fiscal Year 2025 (our current Fiscal Year) through Fiscal Year 2030, outlining roughly $13.6 million in maintenance projects. You can view the full plan below.
