CAPITAL PROJECTS AND SPLOST
VI
INFRASTRUCTURE
The life blood of any city is its infrastructure: water and sewer, stormwater, streets and sidewalks, parks and community centers, libraries, and public safety
facilities. Great cities have great infrastructure, and they invest in that infrastructure. They also invest in the maintenance and upkeep of their infrastructure.
Infrastructure investment is critical to a city’s continued economic success. And aging, deteriorating and obsolete infrastructure, along with rising expectations of
what infrastructure should deliver, challenge a city’s ability to meet public expectations. Cities must expand and modernize its infrastructure across various
sectors to help ensure they continue to provide businesses, both large and small, an environment where they can successfully grow and operate. Research has
shown that well designed investments in infrastructure can increase long-term economic growth, productivity and land values, while also providing significant
positive spillovers to areas such as economic development, energy efficiency, public health and manufacturing. Improving infrastructure will not only create
economic opportunity for residents, but also improve their fundamental quality of life.
The state of our infrastructure is a very important issue that has a significant impact on our citizen’s daily lives. As a city government, it is our business to design,
construct, operate and maintain the infrastructure (roads, bridges, pipes, and pumps, etc.) to facilitate the development of our city. As a practical matter, all of
the facilities we install have a life cycle. Within that life cycle, it is implied that resources for the expected maintenance, future growth demands, and the
eventual replacement are required. Some facilities have different life expectancies and different maintenance requirements.
The problem is when our aging facilities were designed and built; an implied covenant was made to expend the capital to provide for preventive maintenance and
replacement when the service life comes to an end. What we are witnessing today symptomatically is the advanced and sometimes premature decay of our
infrastructure and the breaking of that implied covenant made many years ago.
Minimization of expenditures on municipal infrastructure is not the least cost alternative to infrastructure management—it only defers needed expenditures until
infrastructure assets’ failure require their replacement—always at a much greater cost due to parts, labor, method of repair and collateral damages. These
increased costs are often hidden but are real costs that unnecessarily increase the amount that citizens pay and can negatively affect the quality of services
provided.
