A capital improvement project is any major improvement to City facilities and infrastructure. Projects may include construction and renovation of recreation centers and libraries, acquisition of parkland, repaving of streets, replacement of water and wastewater lines, provision of power for residents and the purchase of new fleet vehicles and IT networks. Collectively, these projects are referred to as the Capital Improvements Program. Capital improvement projects are varied, so some may require years of planning and construction while others may be completed in a shorter timeframe.
