Board of County Commissioners Open Session - Jan 15, 2026
The six-year capital plan funds school additions, pre-K classrooms, parks, roads, and water and sewer work, backed by a $27 million bond request. Big projects like Liberty High School's modernization (~$150M) are left out, and the county's operating budget is already unbalanced — so expect tough choices ahead.
