Great news for Water Valley! The Reynolds Report is excited to announce that active construction on our comprehensive street resurfacing project will officially begin on September 8th.
Bringing Value to Our City’s Streets
This project represents a major milestone in our community’s infrastructure improvement. By utilizing high-tech LiDAR assessment and an independent study from Golden Triangle Planning, the city was able to identify the highest-need roadway segments to prioritize. Moving from survey maps to active paving, we will be focusing on resurfacing portions of 19 streets that fell into the 25th percentile of lowest-rated road conditions. This data-driven approach ensures that we are delivering tangible value to local residents and business owners exactly where it is needed most.
Funded Without Touching the City Budget
Quality infrastructure relies on sound financial stewardship. We want to emphasize that this entire paving initiative is being paid for without overburdening city finances. The project is financed through an Internet Sales Tax bond, meaning these critical street infrastructure improvements are happening without utilizing standard city budget funds. It is a smart, responsible civic financing model that puts local internet tax dollars to work for our community.
Stay Informed with Daily Updates
As Falcon Construction begins laying asphalt, we want to ensure you can easily navigate around the active work zones. To keep everyone in the loop, The Reynolds Report will share daily posts detailing exactly where the crews will be working each day once the project is underway. These regular updates will allow you to plan your daily commutes, avoid temporary delays, and track the progress across our neighborhoods.
What’s Next?
Stay tuned! We will be sharing another update in the next couple of days to announce exactly which streets the crews will be starting on when work kicks off on September 8th.
