Why Annex?

Transportation Management

• As growth occurs outside the municipal limits, continued demand is placed on the city’s transportation infrastructure requiring the city to secure right-of-way for collector and major streets for future improvements and added capacity.

• East West Parkway located in “South” annexation area is designated as a proposed major roadway in the City’s long range Comprehensive Transportation Plan.

Storm Water Runoff

• There are approximately 10 various water sheds surrounding Washington located in unincorporated Franklin County

• 28,004 Acres in the Busch Creek, Southwest Busch Creek and Dubois Creek flows through the city limits adding to flooding issues along the Busch and Dubois Creek area.

• Franklin County has limited authority and control of storm-water management issues effecting local communities.
