How long will it take for these projects to be completed?
Some of the larger projects could take several years to complete, while others will start and finish next year. Many projects require engineering and design work to be completed prior to construction. The total of $175 million in bonds likely will be issued in increments spanning 3-4 years as projects are ready to proceed.
