The City of Beaumont is located in Southeast Texas, approximately 85 miles east of Houston. Beaumont officially became a town on December 16, 1838, and was a center for cattle raisers and farmers in its early years. Because Beaumont is strategically-located on the Neches River and had an active river port, the city was ideally positioned to capitalize on the lumber boom of the late 19th century. The city helped ship lumber across the country, most importantly to help rebuild the railroads after the Civil War. Today, the city's population is 118,000, is a full-service municipality, and serves as the county seat for Jefferson County.
The city's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-range financial planning tool to address the community's needs in the long-term future for the repair and replacement of existing infrastructure as well as the construction or acquisition of new facilities and equipment to accommodate current and future demands for service.
Beaumont has selected Projectmates' construction program management software to manage all of these projects in one, collaborative platform. By using Projectmates, the city will now have the right tools to hit project-related goals in a timely, effective and efficient manner while also providing financial transparency and mobile functionality for project stakeholders.
