The Town of Huntsville operates annual capital road projects as well as road improvement programs.
Capital Projects
A capital project refers to the reconstruction of an asset. These projects are pre-approved through the budget process or are required due to an emergency situation.
Reconstruction of a capital asset resets its lifecycle and its lifecycle can determine future financial planning.
Capital Projects Include:
- Road Reconstruction (road base, road surface, curb and gutters, storm sewers, catch basins)
- Bridge Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
- Sidewalks/Streetlights/Major Culvert Replacements
