A capital improvement plan (CIP) is meant to dictate the highest priority infrastructure projects in a community and highlight the anticipated costs for goods and services, locations, and timeframes to implement said projects.
Traditionally, CIPs have been used for managing physical infrastructure projects like constructing a new building or updating roads, bridges, etc. However, with more demand than ever for high speed internet, and federal government grants recently being passed for making broadband and IT improvements nationwide, your local government has to consider the future of its digital infrastructure as well.
