Municipal work is spread across thousands of websites.
A county posts its capital plan as a PDF. A utility votes on a design contract in a board packet. A city publishes bids on its own portal. Each one looks different, and none of them say whether the work is yours.
So most teams cover the few owners they know, and miss the rest.
One project, read for you.
What it is, how it’s paid for, and the page that says so.
