Capital Improvement Plan

The Capital Improvement Plan outlines the City’s plan for achieving the goals, objectives, and service delivery levels desired by the Mayor and City Commission. The purpose of this plan is to forecast and match projected revenues and major capital needs over a five-year period. Capital planning is an important management tool that strengthens the linkage between community infrastructure needs and the financial capacity of the City.

The Capital Improvement Plan is updated annually to ensure that it addresses new and changing priorities within the City.
