Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

The plan itself costs nothing and creates no fees, but it documents needs far beyond what the city can fund without outside help.

✅Who benefits

Everyone who depends on the city's aging water, sewer, and road systems — and grant writers who now have a prioritized project list.

⚠️Who could be affected

None directly; one resident questioned whether the plan presumes costs the community cannot afford.
