City Council adopts FY2027-32 Capital Improvements Program

posted on 12/12/2025

The City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2027–2032 Capital Improvements Program at its Wednesday, Dec. 10 meeting.

The six-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) serves as a long-range planning document for major infrastructure, facility and equipment investments. While the council adopts the full plan, it authorizes funding only for the first year.

As part of several amendments, the council moved the Horne Street project earlier in the plan. Improvements to Horne Street, including utility and roadway and sidewalk work, are now scheduled for fiscal year 2028, the second year of the program.

Councilors also voted to add the Dover Point Road and Pointe Place roundabout project back into the CIP after it had previously been removed. The roundabout project is now included in the sixth year of the plan.

The council’s action on the CIP consisted of three separate votes. The first vote adopted the six-year CIP as a planning document, and does not authorize or appropriate funding. The second vote authorized and appropriated $4.6 million for non-debt-financed capital projects in fiscal year 2027. A third vote authorized bonding for debt-financed projects totaling $15 million.

The CIP is updated annually and is intended to guide planning and coordination rather than authorize construction. Individual projects move forward only after the council approves funding in a given fiscal year.

More information about the FY2027–2032 Capital Improvements Program, including the full project schedule and supporting documents, is available on the city’s Capital Improvements Program webpage.
