We did a survey of Texas cities. We found most of the suspensions really weren't related to budget (since funds are already allocated), but instead due to challenges as the cities transitioned to work-from-home and dealt with acute issues prompted by COVID. We had a couple hit pause for those reasons.
Projects that were delayed depended on how far they were into the process, or the type of public engagement envisioned. We successfully moved a lot of engagement to non-physical alternatives, but some clients weren't as comfortable with it and chose to wait.
If projects hadn't started, we've found that those have been canceled in some instances. This is more prevalent in west Texas as well as parts of the Houston metro since they got double-tapped with COVID and the oil/gas crash.
We are closely monitoring budget preparations for cities across the state for next fiscal year. That is where we are more concerned about projects getting cut/deferred. That would be a shame, because now is when cities should be investing in planning, code updates, etc.
