CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
What is the Capital Improvement Plan?
The Department of Public Works (DPW) continually strives to improve
and maintain public infrastructure for our unincorporated communities.
Capital projects include improvements to roads, bridges, sewer
systems, stormwater and flood control systems, airports, and other
infrastructure that serves the public good and helps ensure safe,
thriving, and sustainable communities. Having safe, accessible,
thoughtfully planned, and well-maintained infrastructure is essential
to the quality for life for residents, businesses, and visitors in the
unincorporated area.
Each year DPW reviews and revises
our forecast of planned and potential capital projects, the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP spans a five-year timeline and ensures
that we take care of aging infrastructure in a way that is aligned
with the County’s Strategic Initiatives.
The County
also constructs other capital improvements like parks, libraries, and
fire stations. For more information on those projects, please visit:

How Projects are Selected
The capital improvement planning process is an ongoing, year-round effort. DPW crews and engineers continuously assess infrastructure conditions, connect with customers, engage stakeholders, and develop plans to identify and address capital improvement needs. The image above identifies key steps throughout the year for our next CIP cycle in 2024-25. You can expect a similar community engagement workshop in October 2023 to discuss next year’s CIP.
