City of Mobile Launches New Capital Improvement Plan Website

Aug 16th, 2016

Mobile, Ala. - The City of Mobile has launched fixmobile.org - a new capital improvement website for citizens and neighborhood groups to access information about the current status of capital improvement projects.

This year, the City is undertaking 200 capital improvement projects across the City to repair streets, sidewalks, ditches, and parks, but there is currently no central location to track each individual project. After studying best practices from other cities, the Administration seeks to establish similar transparency and accountability for the citizens of Mobile.

The new website offers project information, interactive GIS maps, progress metrics and general schedule updates.

"Because it impacts every citizen in the city, we must execute Year 1 of our Capital Improvement Plan effectively," said Mayor Stimpson. "Over the next 3 years, every citizen will benefit from this plan as we chip away at a $250 million backlog of broken infrastructure. Through this new website, every citizen will know the progress of projects that impact their home, school and work place."
