Engineering
The mission of the Engineering Division is to plan and manage the improvement and expansion of public infrastructure systems to maintain acceptable levels of service and accommodate future growth.
City Engineers have used growth projections for the next 20 years to prioritize and design the streets we need to continue to grow gracefully. These Public Works Projects will focus on keeping our traffic flowing smoothly, widening of streets, replacement of outdated utilities, and the creation of new roads and intersections.
Funding projects: In 1987, the Grand Junction City Council adopted an ordinance that increased the sales tax rate by ¾ of one percent. The tax increase raised the total City sales tax to 2 ¾ percent, and was instituted for the specific purpose of funding economic development and general capital improvement projects.
