Capital Improvement Program
Albany's five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is designed to provide a road map for implementation of core infrastructure improvement programs and standalone enhancement projects throughout the City. The City Council, commissions, and staff work together to incorporate priorities into a realistic plan for implementation. This plan strives to balance regulatory requirements, safety issues, planned priorities, and desired enhancements to City assets and infrastructure. The CIP covers a planning horizon of five fiscal years, with the first two to three years of funding generally appropriated by the Council at adoption. Interim reports are provided to the City Council periodically, and include project status, program developments, and funding updates.
Albany's Current CIP
The most recent CIP was adopted in November 2020 (Resolution No. 2020-108). At that time, the City Council approved the plan to invest approximately $19.4 million into capital improvements within the first two years of the plan, with a total of $42.6 million planned over the full five years. Of the total budget, roughly 83% was allocated for investment into core infrastructure, including Annual Programs for rehabilitation of Sewers, Streets, Sidewalks, and Storm Drains. The plan also included 22 standalone projects, in the categories of Buildings & Facilities, Streets/Bikeways/Pedestrian Improvements, Parks/Creeks/Trails, and Sewer/Storm Drain.
The most recent status report for the current CIP was presented to the City Council on May 2, 2022. Read the Capital Improvement Plan report.
