Capital Improvement Program Highlights

More than $2.2B worth of DPW / SWB work in the next 8 years

Most comprehensive infrastructure program our region has seen in a generation.

More than 200 individual projects - every neighborhood will feel a positive impact.

Multiple Funding Sources: FEMA-funded road / waterline work, FEMA-funded Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) projects, HUD-funded National Disaster Resiliency Competition (NDRC) grant projects, SWB-funded Sewer System Evaluation and Rehabilitation Program (SSERP) (sewer consent decree) work and City-funded bond project work.

Work will create thousands of construction jobs across the city and maximize

economic opportunity for the City’s small and disadvantaged businesses.
