Facebookers, your cries for heavier investment in Maricopa’s infrastructure will be answered this next fiscal year.
Members of Maricopa City Council’s Budget and Finance Subcommittee got their first look this morning at the proposed $151.7 million budget for capital improvement projects. This includes spending more than $77.8 million, or 51.3% of the CIP budget, on roads and regional infrastructure.
Over the next decade, the city wants to invest more than $496 million on roads alone.
It’s a huge investment Councilmember Eric Goettl hopes will help resolve one of Maricopa’s biggest needs.
“Our residents all know traffic is horrible, and the streets and infrastructure aren’t quite there,” he told InMaricopa this morning. “But I think we have a good plan for addressing that as quickly and responsibly as we can.”
