Fix It First Policy A Fix It First policy gives top priority to repair and reinvestment in existing infrastructure (roads, bridges, water, sewer, power, etc.) by fixing and maintaining what already exists. Funding for expansion, growth, and new purchases is limited, and occurs after existing infrastructure has been properly taken care of and adequately funded. Such a strategy can help communities avoid subsidizing sprawl.

Implementation Examples Outside Georgia

Massachusetts - Massachusetts has begun to emphasize the upkeep of its existing infrastructure and transportation networks, rather than funding their expansion. The program puts a special emphasis on areas that are served by public transit. Governor Mitt Romney created the Office of Commonwealth Development (OCD) for this purpose. This office also focuses on promoting development in areas that are served by existing infrastructure and transportation, and on the reuse of vacant buildings for affordable housing.
