Fleet maintenance facility expansion

The 75-year-old public works building can't fit the city's growing fleet — fire trucks and refuse trucks can't be serviced properly. A ~$1.95 million expansion is proposed, with design pushed to 2028 while the city studies bigger facilities/land questions.

Airport fuel system failure and above-ground storage project

The airport's 30-year-old underground fuel tanks are at the end of their useful life — a 2021 fuel contamination incident already disrupted service. A $1.3 million first phase would build an above-ground fuel farm, with the state asked to fund $750,000; without the grant, the city may face footing the whole bill.
