The current CIP consists of a 10-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 planning <br /> tool and serves as a financial plan. <br /> Capital Investment Plan — Overview <br /> The FY 2026-36 CIP includes County Projects, School Projects, and Proprietary Projects. The <br /> School Projects include Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, Orange County Schools, and Durham <br /> Technical Community College — Orange County Campus projects. The Proprietary Projects <br /> include Water and Sewer, Solid Waste Enterprise Fund, and Sportsplex projects. <br /> The CIP has been prepared anticipating moderate economic growth of approximately 2% in <br /> property tax growth over the next ten years, and 4% sales tax growth. Many of the projects in the <br /> CIP will rely on debt financing to fund the projects. <br /> Attachment 1 is the FY 2026-36 Capital Investment Plan Overall Summary of$139,418,653 <br /> (individual projects were provided to the Board of County Commissioners at previous work <br /> sessions, and revised project funding was discussed at the June 4, 2026 budget work session). <br />
