What is a Capital Improvement Plan?

The capital improvement program (CIP) is one of the most powerful tools for implementing a community’s comprehensive plan when CIP projects are linked to the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. The CIP ultimately influences the pace and quality of development in a community.

Contents of the CIP

A completed CIP contains a list of capital improvement projects by priority, information about each project, a schedule for seeking funding, and a construction schedule. The CIP will include projects that are needed right away and projects that will be needed over the next five or six years. Each year as the projects are funded and completed the CIP is updated to add new projects and to reflect changes in community needs and priorities.
