Officials probably did visit some time ago, but many of the preparations simply can't be done all that far in advance, because it would be far too much interference with the normal operations of the city.

When I mentioned the light rail, I said that the tracks were being covered. That can't be done until the point at which you're planning to shut down rail service altogether for the event itself.
Honestly, and especially with the first Atlantic Coast hurricane in 15 years, there are just a lot of things that are out of the hands of the sanctioning bodies at the end of the day.
