Capital Improvement Program

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a multi-year planning tool to identify and implement the County's short-term and long-term capital needs. The CIP includes acquisitions, additions, improvements, and non-routine maintenance to County-owned facilities and roads that generally equal or exceed $25,000 and have a useful life of at least five years. Capital projects are categorized in one of four service categories: improvements to the County Airport, improvements to County General Fund facilities, flood control/fish passage projects, and maintenance to County roads. CIPs from FY 2006-07 to present are available for download from the list below.
