The current CIP consists of a 10-year plan that is evaluated annually to include year-to- <br /> 39 year changes in priorities, needs, and available resources. Approval of the CIP commits the <br /> 40 County to the first year funding only of the capital projects; all other years are used as a planning <br /> 41 tool and serves as a financial plan. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Capital Investment Plan — Overview <br /> 44 The FY 2023-33 CIP includes County Projects, School Projects, and Proprietary Projects. The <br /> 45 School Projects include Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, and Durham <br /> 46 Technical Community College — Orange County Campus projects. The Proprietary Projects <br /> 47 include Water and Sewer, Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, and Sportsplex projects. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 The CIP has been prepared anticipating moderate economic growth of approximately 2% in <br /> 50 property tax growth over the next ten years, and 4% sales tax growth. Many of the projects in the <br /> 51 CIP will rely on debt financing to fund the projects. <br />
