The current CIP consists of a 5-year plan that is evaluated annually to include year-to- <br /> year changes in priorities, needs, and available resources. Approval of the CIP commits the <br /> County to the first year funding only of the capital projects; all other years are used as a <br /> planning tool and serves as a financial plan. <br /> Capital Investment Plan — Overview <br /> The FY 2016-21 CIP includes County Projects, School Projects, and Proprietary Projects. The <br /> School Projects include Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, and <br /> Durham Technical Community College — Orange County Campus projects. The Proprietary <br /> Projects include Water and Sewer, Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, and Sportsplex projects. <br /> The CIP has been prepared anticipating continued slow economic growth of between 1-2% <br /> annually over the next five years. Many of the projects in the CIP will rely on debt financing to <br /> fund the projects. <br />
