Achieve WCAG 2.1 Compliance for Public Digital Access
Web Accessibility · Digital Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across web and document platforms by April 2027, with non-compliance carrying significant regulatory risk. Ongoing cloud migration and public-access platform modernization initiatives make closing this accessibility gap operationally urgent for the public served.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a defined, near-term procurement window aligned with strong FY2026 IT budget capacity and a $1.038B infrastructure appropriation that explicitly includes digital services modernization. Acting now ensures compliance, reduces federal regulatory exposure, and expands equitable public access to critical agency resources.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, Continuity of Operations Plan, and agency-wide mass notification platform, while simultaneously assuming new responsibilities for flood-prone area assessment and warning-siren grant administration. These compounding gaps create significant operational and public safety risk with no current mitigation infrastructure in place.
The opportunity
FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance subgrants and existing GIS infrastructure provide a timely, funded pathway to close critical preparedness gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces public safety exposure, satisfies emerging compliance expectations, and positions the agency to meet its expanded flood warning mandate.

About this project
Microsoft Server 2016 reaches end-of-life in January 2027, exposing the agency to unpatched security vulnerabilities and operational disruption. A commissioned $1.7M Enterprise IT Modernization Assessment signals a broad infrastructure review, with documented gaps in endpoint and credential management elevating cybersecurity risk.
The opportunity
The January 2027 end-of-life deadline and an active modernization assessment create a defined procurement window aligned with current budget allocations and over $16M in annual IT spend. Investments made now can be structured within the upcoming fiscal cycle and may qualify for state cooperative contract vehicles, reducing procurement complexity.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The agency operates under a biennial cybersecurity plan mandate with confirmed gaps in credential management and endpoint protection, creating measurable exposure. Without verified controls in these areas, the risk of unauthorized access and compliance deficiencies remains elevated across agency operations.
The opportunity
The recurring biennial security plan mandate creates a structured compliance driver, and the Water Supply and Infrastructure Grants program identifies technology modernization as an eligible funding path. A new CFO and active IT modernization assessment make this an opportune moment to close security gaps within the current fiscal cycle.
