What are the expected timelines for these projects to begin and be completed? I understand that there is a six-year window but would also like to know when and how the projects will be prioritized.

       Projects will be managed in various ways, both by hiring outside project management on large/complex projects as well as internal county management on smaller projects.  Timing of projects will be contingent upon several things, such as supply and contractor availability, available funds, permitting, etc. The County is committed to moving through these projects as the funding becomes available.  We are also looking to bond some of the larger projects to ensure we can obtain today’s pricing and be able to get the projects out for bid without having to wait for full funding.  SPLOST is a monthly revenue and will be collected over 6 years.  There will be some Tier 1 projects that will be started in the coming years once funding is received.  Not all SPLOST projects begin on day one.  All Tier 1 projects will be fully funded prior to any Tier 2 projects being considered.   As mentioned in briefings, Glynn County will hold quarterly status updates on all SPLOST projects that will be open to the public for transparency.
