Transportation and Infrastructure Issues for The Chip Game
Below are some Taylor County issues or constraints to keep in mind when playing The Chip Game.
- There is currently a perceived correlation between the “grade level” designations of
the schools and the recruitment ability for workforce in Taylor County (i.e. doctors,
surgeons, upper management, etc.)
- Ten percent of the geographical area of the county is not within a ten mile radius of
an existing fire station; similarly, all EMS coverage is based either in Perry or
Steinhatchee
- Access to recreational facilities, such as the existing county-owned sports complex, is
limited only to organized events and participants
- Bicycling and pedestrian routes are not available, both along the coastline for
recreation and within Perry for travel to school
- New development will require school capacity to increase four-fold by 2060, but it
may not produce a variety of choices, such as private and charter schools
- Increase in traffic will require improvements to roadway system. At the same time,
traffic may be either routed around Perry or congest downtown to a standstill
- Development without urban services boundaries can be wide spread and overtax
these services, including water, wastewater, solid waste, police, fire, and EMS
- Retirees will demand new businesses and expanded healthcare services
- New development may upset the safe environment and small-town feel of the city
and the county
- Airport expansion may be needed and/or demanded by new development
