A Capital Improvements Plan details a community’s strategy for short- and long-range physical development. It is intended to link the community’s comprehensive plan and fiscal plan to physical developments, and provide a mechanism for:

• Estimating capital requirements, including the capital needs of Emergency Service providers (Fire & EMS);
• Planning, prioritizing, scheduling, and implementing projects during the next 5 to 10 years;
• Developing revenue policy for proposed improvements;
• Budgeting high priority projects;
• Inter-fund and inter-department coordinating of projects within a community; and
• Informing the public of planned capital improvements.
