At a recent county council meeting, officials outlined urgent projects ranging from roof replacements to radio system upgrades, signaling a comprehensive push to modernize county infrastructure. “After decades of neglect, we are taking the necessary steps to begin to invest in our building infrastructure,” said public works director Danielle Floyd, who presented the county’s capital plan. “The county’s buildings are comprised of several building systems, each with a calculated useful life. When we ignore those timelines, problems compound.” The most pressing issue involves roofs across the county’s facilities — the county manages more than 120 roofs, most of which are approaching or have already surpassed their 15- to 20-year lifespans.
