Press Release
CORPUS CHRISTI – Infrastructure Management Plan (IMP) is a five-year rolling program focusing on the maintenance of the City’s streets. Corpus Christi City Council approved the first two years of the five-year plan. The additional three years of the plan will be considered by City Council in December. Programs in the IMP include Street Preventative Maintenance, Residential Street Rebuild, In-House Pavement Rehabilitation, and Concrete Restoration. From this point forward, during the annual budget process, the IMP will be presented to City Council for approval. The IMP can only be changed with City Council approval.
To review the current 2021 and 2022 IMP please visit: www.cctexas.com/imp. This website is a user-friendly interactive platform with maps provides residents continuous updates and easy access to search for specific streets that are in the IMP program.
The goal of the IMP is to provide the best possible planning and maintenance schedules for the City of Corpus Christi’s streets infrastructure. With today’s action, Public Works and Contractors will repair streets from the approved list of neighborhoods, arterial, and collector streets. This plan was developed from assessment and review of the City’s street conditions and input from Public Works public sessions in February 2020. The IMP will provide the community certainty when specific streets will be rehabilitated.
In September, Council approved nearly $80 million for street maintenance and reconstruction for FY 2021. These funds will go towards the Public Work Department’s preventative maintenance and reconstruction program. Public Works continues to improve processes to rebuild Corpus Christi roads faster. This work FY 2021 will begin in January and last approximately one year.

Keystone Pipeline to Restart Infrastructure Construction
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton applauded the United States Supreme Court for partially staying a district court order that halted energy infrastructure construction nationwide and impeded economic growth.
Press Release
AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton applauded the United States Supreme Court for partially staying a district court order that halted energy infrastructure construction nationwide and impeded economic growth. Despite the original lawsuit focusing on a permit the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers used to authorize the Keystone XL pipeline, the district court’s order needlessly affected new oil and gas pipelines in every state, regardless of length, purpose, or minimal environmental effects.
“I applaud the Supreme Court for staying this erroneous injunction and ensuring that energy pipeline construction continues smoothly,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The successful production and transportation of oil and gas is lifeblood for the states and is not possible without a dynamic pipeline network. The need for a stable electrical grid is vital, and that need has been consistently met by the growing production of oil and gas.”
