Capital Improvement Projects

About the program
The District’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year planning schedule with each year approved in the correlating fiscal year. Long-term capital planning is a dynamic process and is part of the district’s overall strategic plan. Capital planning involves identifying current and future needs and prioritizing them through an assessment process.

Projects listed in the CIP are reviewed annually by the District’s staff to allow the program to be more responsive to changing needs, regulations, funding availability, and demand projections.
