El Campo city staff has outlined over $32 million in critical upgrades over the next 15 years, from roads to collapsing sewer lines. Nearly half of that—$15.9 million—is needed in just the first five years. City leaders are exploring a partnership with the El Campo Development Corporation to help fund high-priority work, including water lines and paving near the future hospital. Aging infrastructure is a growing concern, with some pipes over 80 years old. A $3.2 million public works facility may also return for council consideration after being previously rejected. No decisions have been finalized yet.
