The County is dedicated to providing facilities that serve the needs of the community and strengthen the quality of life for all. Parks, live well centers, and fire stations are examples of facilities that support our communities and staff. The County has a five-year plan to build and improve facilities. This plan helps us fix older buildings and get ready for future needs so residents can keep getting essential services.
Each year, we review and update our plan for potential capital projects through a process called the Capital Improvement Needs Assessment (CINA) or "Capital Plan" for short.
Capital projects together make up the Capital Plan and can include new construction or renovation of existing County buildings, recreation centers, sheriff stations or the purchase of land to build parks.
We consider the following when developing the Capital Plan:
What we’ve heard from our communities
The condition of existing facilities (e.g., overall state or quality of a building)
How prepared a project is to get started (e.g., design has been completed)
Available funds
How can you get involved in the capital planning process?
