With the Board of <br /> Commissioners approval of an expanded County campus in downtown Hillsborough on <br /> November 2 , 2006 , many of these needs may . now be addressed in a more definitive manner . <br /> The attached updated documents are intended to provide that information . <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT . The County' s Capital Investment Plan will be presented in the Spring <br /> 2007 and will reflect the specific financial impact of study options recommended for <br /> implementation . <br /> RECOMMENDATION ( S ) : The Manager recommends that the Board discuss the updated <br /> information and approve the study for implementation , with modifications that may be <br /> suggested during the Board ' s deliberations . <br />
