About our Capital Improvement Plan
Our Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is designed to sustain and improve community infrastructure over time in accordance with community principles. It includes procedural elements that implement the plan, including policies, decision-making structure and annual update processes.
Why create a CIP?
Our CIP can help us:
- Determine the level of county services to provide to our community.
- Identify funding mechanisms for desired service levels in an ongoing, annual basis.
- Provide flexibility to meet changing community needs and priorities.
- Identify capital project needs, timing, funding and financing across our departments.
- Review annual program costs and change elements.
- Advance equitable outcomes for all we serve.
