From the meeting
Melissa Lindley, Economic Development Director, said the city is in early-stage capital improvement planning and consultants have already met with department heads, reviewed assessments and plans, and identified known and anticipated projects. The group is building a scoring matrix for health and safety, economic impact, and legal or federal compliance needs. The next council meeting on this topic was expected in September 2026, so the work is still shaping which projects will get funded and sequenced.
