Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

The Planning Board has been authorized by Town Meeting to develop and amend a recommended program of capital improvement projects. The primary purpose of the Capital Improvement Program is to aid the Selectmen in their consideration of the annual budget by providing them with priority-based recommendations for capital improvements. The CIP recommends improvements over a 10 year period and includes projects such as major road reconstruction, sewer and/or water utility replacements, new public facilities, land acquisition, major equipment replacements, etc. Capital Improvement Programming has been in effect since 1998. In many instances, implementing capital improvements serves to advance facility, infrastructure and conservation goals of the adopted master plan.
