The CIP is an important component of the County’s long range planning process. The first year of the CIP becomes the capital budget and the remaining years provide an estimated cost of the proposed projects and their anticipated funding sources. The CIP is reviewed annually and the priorities re-evaluated based on conditions and requirements of the community.
