Impact analysis
About $1.5 million in capital projects have already been delayed into 2027 pending facilities master plan decisions.
Taxpayers benefit if capital is prioritized to truly needed projects rather than drawing down reserves.
Deferring facility projects could raise long-term costs or leave county buildings in worse condition, especially with a new judicial center years away.
