Corpus Christi City Council meets to discuss 10-year master plan

After this discussion on water and wastewater, the city will tackle the master plan for stormwater and roads.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — City of Corpus Christi leaders gathered Thursday in the first of a series of meetings that lay out a 10-year master plan for the city's infrastructure.

Discussions included Corpus Christi Mayor Paulette Guajardo, other city council members, and planning commission members, and centered around water and wastewater, and how the city could expand those services in the coming years.

The plan is designed to accommodate population growth in the city, but according to development services director Al Raymond, the numbers behind the master plan are not looking encouraging at all.

"It just talks about how we're going to grow," he said. "It's been projected that we are growing one percent a year and some say less.  Very little more.  But we have laid one one percent growth each year, right."

The presentations also outlined how projects are funded and executed.

After this discussion on water and wastewater, the city will tackle the master plan for storm water and roads, and, in January, staff will present all the findings to council to either approve or amend.
