CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
FREDERICK COUNTY
FY 2023-2028
INTRODUCTION
Section §15.2-2239 of the Code of Virginia assigns the responsibility for preparation of plans for capital outlays to the local Planning
Commissions. The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) consists of a schedule for major capital expenditures for the County for the
ensuing five years.
The CIP is updated annually. Projects are removed from the plans as they are completed or as priorities change. The plan is
intended to assist the Board of Supervisors in preparation of the County budget. In addition to determining priorities for capital
expenditures, the County must also ensure that projects contained within the CIP conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically,
the projects are reviewed with considerations regarding health, safety, and the general welfare of the public, and the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. Once the CIP is adopted, it becomes a component of the Comprehensive Plan and provides a link between the
documents and potential proffered contributions made with future rezoning projects.
The inclusion of projects to the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will be undertaking these projects. The CIP is
strictly advisory; it is intended for use, as a capital facilities planning document, not for requesting funding allocations. Once
adopted, project priorities may change throughout the year based on changing circumstances. It is also possible that projects may
not be funded during the year that is indicated in the CIP. The status of any project becomes increasingly uncertain the further in
the future it is projected.
1
PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS
Frederick County Public Schools
Frederick County Public Schools continues to commence and complete capital projects that have been priorities from previous years.
The top capital improvement priority in the plan this year is the fourth high school. The renovation and expansion of Sherando and
Millbrook High School are also key priorities, and Armel and Apple Pie Ridge Elementary slated for similar projects.
Parks & Recreation
The top capital improvement priority for Parks and Recreation is the Abrams Creek Greenway Trail. This facility would provide
recreational opportunities for residents of this corridor along with the surrounding communities and was emphasized in the
Senseny/Eastern Frederick Urban Areas Plan. Other top priorities include the Old Charlestown Road Park development, and
Sherando Softball Complex.
Handley Regional Library
The Handley Regional Library recommends three projects. The library's top priority is a new library branch in the Gainesboro area.
The second and third priorities are for new library branches throughout the County which include the areas of Senseny/Greenwood
Road and Route 522 South; both of which are anticipated to be located within the UDA (Urban Development Area) in locations
consistent with the approved area plans - the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Area Plan, and the Southern Frederick Area Plan.
County Administration
There is one request from Public Works—the Double Toll Gate Convenience Site.
County Administration projects continue to be the County Office Annex (Former Sunnyside Plaza Shopping Center), the joint County
Administration and School Administration Building and the future replacement of the Joint Judicial Center. General Government
Capital Expenditures is also included. This item addresses those general government capital expenditures that may fall below the
established $100,000 departmental threshold.
2
Fire and Rescue
The top project for Fire and Rescue is the construction of Fire & Rescue Station #22, a new facility located in the vicinity of Route 277
also identified as a priority is the apparatus needed for this facility. Project two includes the acquisition of a new apparatus for
Station 21, and project three is the construction of Station #23, a new facility located in the vicinity of Crosspointe with the
necessary apparatus.
Fire and Rescue Volunteer Company Capital Equipment Requests
The revolving fund in the amount of $1,000,000 for the benefit of Fire and Rescue Services was established and remains a
component of the CIP. This capital expenditure fund is for purchasing additional and replacement vehicles and equipment that may
fall below the $100,000 guideline established by the Finance Committee. It was determined that the inclusion of such a priority
would be beneficial in ensuring that significant capital expenses are identified in the County's capital planning and budget process.
This project is primarily for the benefit of the individual Volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies. Also included are individual project
and priorities from the volunteer stations.
Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office has included two projects in their CIP. The top project is the construction of an eight -bay steel building for
housing of large, specialized vehicles that require coverage, and their other project is a firearms training simulator.
Public Safety Communications
The Project 25 Public Safety Radio Network is the top public safety — communications priority. This project includes the purchase,
construction, and deployment of Association of Public -Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International Project 25 (P25) radio
communications system to support mission -critical public safety communications within the County. This system will provide radio
and paging communications for the Frederick County Sheriff's Department, Frederick County Fire & Rescue, Volunteer Fire & Rescue
Companies, and the Department of Public Safety Communications. This project is currently underway.
3
Transportation Committee
The Transportation Committee continues to provide project requests for the CIP. Virginia State Code allows for transportation
projects to be included within a locality's CIP. Funding for transportation project requests will likely come from a combination of
state funds, developers, revenue sharing, various other revenue programs and possibly local funds used to leverage those funding
sources.
The Transportation Committee has included 27 priority projects. As projects and applications are developed, they could include all
or a key portion of a prioritized project. The top three priorities include Exit 313 Bridge Replacement and Capacity Improvements,
Renaissance Drive (Phase 2), and the Route 277 turn lane extension at Warrior Drive. The inclusion of the Eastern Road Plan
Improvements item at number 28 once again emphasizes the connection between the CIP and potential proffered contributions
made with rezoning projects which are aimed at mitigating potential transportation impacts identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
Winchester Regional Airport
Funding for airport projects is derived through a complex formula where federal and state governments contribute a majority of the
funding, with Frederick County and other jurisdictions providing the remaining funding. The construction of a new aviation terminal
to support future airport operations continues to be number one in the CIP, followed by the Taxiway "A" Relocation
(design/construction). Other projects focus on land and easement acquisition in support of airport development to meet Federal
Aviation requirements. The vast majority of the funding for these improvements comes from the FAA and VDA.

THE CIP TABLES - CONTENT DESCRIPTIONS
The Capital Improvements Plan tables, on the following four pages, contains a list of the capital improvement projects proposed for
the ensuing five years. A description of the information in this table is explained below.
Projects Ranked by Department - The priority rating assigned by each agency or department for their requested projects.
County Contribution - The estimated dollar value that will be contributed for each project. This value is listed by individual fiscal
years and by total contributions over the five-year period. The total contribution column, located to the right of the fiscal year
column, does not include debt service projections.
Notes - Indicates the footnotes that apply to additional funding sources for particular projects.
Total Project Costs - The cost for each project, including the County allocations and other funding sources.
PROJECT FUNDING
The projects included in Table 1 have a total projected cost to the County of $566,733,129, this figure excludes Airport requests and
transportation projects as these are primarily funded through other sources. Additionally, over the ensuing five year period the plan
calls for approximately $469,669,051 worth of potential projects. However, it should be noted it is not a fiscally constrained plan,
and is not a commitment to fund any of the listed projects.
While the CIP is primarily used to cover the next five years, much of the project costs have been identified beyond the next five
years.
• School projects are funded through a combination of loans from the Virginia Public School Authority and the Virginia
Literary Fund.
• Funding for Parks and Recreation Department projects will come from the unreserved fund balance of the County. The
Parks and Recreation Commission actively seeks grants and private sources of funding for projects not funded by the
County.
• The inclusion of transportation projects to the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will be undertaking
these projects. Funding projects will continue to come from a combination of local, state, and federal funds, developer
contributions, and revenue sharing.
M
Airport projects will be funded by contributions from the federal, state, and local governments. The local portion may
include contributions from Frederick, Clarke, Shenandoah, Warren Counties, and the City of Winchester.

APPENDIX
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
15
Frederick County Public Schools Project Priority List
PRIORITY 1— Fourth High School
Description: This new high school project is proposed to serve students in grades 9-12 with a program capacity of 1,250 students
and will address overcrowding and anticipated growth in high school student enrollment in the school division. The site is
located at the end of Justes Drive behind Admiral Byrd MS. This school will be designed for collaborative education, similar to
Aylor MS, with a variety of learning spaces to meet the needs of a variety of learning styles and to impart skills necessary in
today's working world.
Capital Cost: $137,400,000
Justification: This project will address overcrowding and expected growth in high school student enrollment in the school
division over the next several years.
Construction Schedule: FY 25-26
PRIORITY 2 — Sherando High School Addition
Description: Sherando High School opened in 1993. The facility contains 239,517 square feet and has a program capacity of
1,323 students serving grades 9-12. Several areas need to be addressed in a renovation/addition, including reorganization and
addition of classrooms and storage space to better equip the building to support collaborative education. Because we want the
facility to last another 30 years, facility infrastructure will be renewed and updated, and certain finishes will be refreshed.
Capital Cost: $30,000,000
Justification: This project would need to be further scoped by the school system to ensure coordination with priority 4.
Construction Schedule: FY 24-25
PRIORITY 3 — Millbrook High School Addition
Description: Millbrook High School opened in 2003. It is currently over capacity and a project to provide additional space may
help to alleviate those issues.
Capital Cost: $30,000,000
Justification: An addition project could help to alleviate overcrowding at the existing facility. Such a project would need to
16
be scoped by the school system.
Construction Schedule: FY 28 and Beyond
PRIORITY 4 — Sherando High School Renovations and Expansion
Description: Sherando High School opened in 1993. The facility contains 239,517 square feet and has a program capacity of
1,323 students serving grades 9-12. Several major areas need to be addressed in a renovation, including reorganization and
addition of classrooms and storage space to better equip the building to support collaborative education. Because we want the
facility to last another 30 years, facility infrastructure will be renewed and updated, and finishes will be refreshed. Other areas
to be addressed are security, traffic safety, and gender equity in athletic facilities.
Capital Cost: $125,600,000
Justification: Sherando is 29 years old and will be years older by the time we start to renovate it. Renovations are needed to
ensure the economical, efficient, and effective operation of the school for years to come. Modern instruction requires that a
variety of learning spaces be provided, including collaborative spaces and project labs (similar to maker spaces).
Transportation safety concerns exist on and around the school site at Sherando during arrival and dismissal. Sherando does
not have a softball field on site, instead using a softball field in Sherando Park. This represents an equity issue between boys
and girls sports and is contrary to FCPS' policy of equity between boys and girls sports.
Construction Schedule: FY 25-26
PRIORITY 5 - Armel Elementary School Addition and Renovation
Description: Armel ES opened in 1991 and has served continuously as a K-5 elementary school since that time. The school
contains 70,281 square feet and has a program capacity of 580 students. As of October 31, 2022, the school has 621 students.
Eight classrooms will be added to Armel ES, to accommodate the additional growth in the attendance zone, particularly Lake
Frederick.
Capital Cost: $11,500,000
Justification: Armel Elementary School is in good condition; however, growth in the attendance zone will need to be
addressed through the addition of classrooms to the facility.
Construction Schedule: FY 25-26
17
PRIORITY 6 — Apple Pie Ridge Elementary School Phase 2 Renovation
Description: Apple Pie Ridge Elementary School opened in 1974 and has served continuously as an elementary school since that
time. The school and auxiliary building contains 65,120 square feet. The school has a program capacity of 509 students. Currently
the building serves grades K-5. The building is in good condition; however, several major areas need to be addressed, including
modernizing open classroom spaces, ADA compliance, energy conservation, security, and upgrades of fire alarms, electrical,
plumbing and mechanical systems.
Capital Cost: $29,000,000
Justification: Apple Pie Ridge Elementary School is 48 years old and renovations are needed to a number of areas to ensure the
economical and efficient operations of the school for years to come.
Construction Schedule: FY 26-27
PRIORITY 7 —Jordan Springs Elementary School Classroom Addition
Description: Jordan Springs ES opened in 2020 and serves as a K-5 elementary school. The school contains 84,375 square feet
and has a program capacity of 500 students. As of October 31, 2022, the school has 586 students. A four -classroom addition is
proposed onto Jordan Springs ES.
Capital Cost: $3,700,000
Justification: Both recent and expected growth in the attendance zone will need to be addressed through two strategies: the
addition of classrooms to the facility and an attendance zone rezoning. Neither strategy alone is sufficient to address enrollment
growth at JSES. The school will need to be suitably sized to serve Snowden Bridge when the subdivision is built out.
Construction Schedule: FY 25-26
PRIORITY 8 — Onsite Traffic Safety Improvements at Sherando, Greenwood Mill, Frederick County Middle/Gainesboro, Indian
Hollow, and Armel/Transportation
Description: Traffic safety concerns exist at several school sites that require site improvements. These needs have been going
unmet for some time, and so have been combined into a single capital project. Improvements include rearrangement of parking
lots, bus loops and parent drop-off loops, additional site access, improvements to pedestrian facilities, and separation of bus
and car traffic.
Capital Cost: $2,900,000
18
Justification: This work is needed to provide sites that are as safe as possible. Currently we experience traffic
backups/overloads, conflicting traffic flows, and difficulty entering state roads at these sites during arrival and dismissal. We are
concerned that frustration with the current situations will lead some drivers and walkers to make bad decisions.
Construction Schedule: TBD
19
Parks & Recreation Department Project Priority List
PRIORITY 1— Abrams Creek Trail
Description: 10' wide, asphalt, shared -use trail along Abrams Creek from Senseny Road to Channing Drive. It is estimated the trail
will have 6 bridge stream crossings and will be approximately 3 miles in length. As outlined below, the project is envisioned in three
phases of approximately 1 mile each. Each phase will have logical beginning and ending points and be usable trail sections in
themselves. Phase 1 from Senseny Road to Woodstock Lane. Phase 2 from Woodstock Lane to Woody's Place, and Phase 3 from
Woody's Place to Channing Drive.
Capital Cost: $4,099,822 (grant funding anticipated)
Justification: This facility would provide recreational opportunities for residents and provide an alternate means of entering and
exiting the City of Winchester from Eastern Frederick County. This project is intended to meet the needs of the community as
identified in the 2022 Frederick County Parks and Recreation Community Survey, and the 2012 Virginia Outdoors Plan Survey.
Construction Schedule: Phase I — FY 23-24, Phase II and III — Beyond FY 27 (The construction schedule will follow VDOT funding.
Phase I is funded through a VDOT grant)
PRIORITY 2 — Old Charlestown Road Park Development
Description: Old Charlestown Road Park, situated on land proffered by the Snowden Bridge development provides land for the
provision of an active recreation park. The above park is to include athletic fields suitable for league play. Fields, restrooms, and
parking are part of the park concept.
Capital Cost: $3,862,740 (grant funding anticipated)
Justification: The overall park design is informed by the Snowden Bridge (formerly Stephenson Village) rezoning proffer of 2003
and public input sessions in 2020. Plans are to provide rectangular fields and hard surface courts at this location. There are no
public rectangular fields in the north area of Frederick County.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 25-26
20
PRIORITY 3 - Sherando Park North - Softball Complex
Description: This project completes the development vision for the southeast area of Sherando Park located north of Rt 277. This
vision is expressed in the 2016 North Sherando Park Master Plan update. Included are softball fields to complete the complex, a
shared use trail segment, roadway and parking.
Capital Cost: $988,880
Justification: This facility would provide recreational opportunities for the entire Frederick County area. In addition to its use as a
recreational facility, it will be used by the Frederick County school system. Presently, there are ten softball/baseball fields within the
County's regional park system. Eight of ten existing fields must serve a dual purpose of facilitating youth baseball as well as youth
and adult softball programs. With the increased usage of these fields, it has become more difficult to facilitate these programs. This
project is needed in order to meet the growing need for diamond field space and tournament opportunities.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 24-25
PRIORITY 4— Recreation Center
Description: The Recreation Center project would be approximately 44,000 square feet and include an indoor area large enough to
accommodate a minimum of two basketball courts. This court area would also be designed for utilization by indoor soccer, baseball,
softball, wrestling, volleyball, tennis and badminton with the installation of in -floor sleeves and drop curtains or partitions. This area
could also be used for special events such as dances, proms, music festivals, garden and home, outdoor, craft, antique, quilt, or boat
shows, thus providing a flexible facility for a multitude of activities to take place at one time. The facility would also house a fitness
center, multi-purpose rooms, office, storage, and locker rooms.
Capital Cost: $11,251,221
Justification: Since its inception, the Parks and Recreation Department has relied significantly on the use of the County public
schools to house recreation programs. This arrangement adequately addressed Recreation Center needs for a time, however the
department currently offers over 250 sections of programs, creating a situation where the department is limited in its ability to meet
the programming and facility needs of the county residents. A Recreation Center facility will facilitate the department to meet
citizen programming demands and provide the area with a facility to attract new businesses to the community. This facility would
be available to all area residents.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 24-25
21
PRIORITY 5 - Playground Replacement
Description: This project schedules replacement for playgrounds at County Parks.
Capital Cost: $875,830
Justification: County Park playgrounds are popular amenities at County owned parks. The playgrounds will need to be replaced to
meet user expectations.
Construction Schedule: This project is anticipated to be ongoing; a 4 -year schedule is proposed. Year 1: Clearbrook 2nd
playground, Sherando 2nd playground. Year 2: Sherando 3rd playground. Year 3: Sherando main playground.
PRIORITY 6 - Water Slide / Spray Ground / Building Renovation
Description: Upgrade the outdoor swimming pools at both Clearbrook and Sherando Parks. Upgrade would involve the removal of
the diving boards and the installation of one 50' water slide and one 75' water slide at each pool. The upgrade would also include
the addition of a spray ground with 10-12 features at each pool.
Capital Cost: $1,157,356
Justification: To provide recreational opportunities for the Clearbrook Park and Sherando Park service area. Frederick County Parks
and Recreation Department operates two outdoor swimming pools at the regional parks. These facilities are over 20 years old and
were constructed with two diving boards as the main feature for each pool. Swimming pool attendance has trended decline in
recent years and users are requesting different water features. The addition of two water slides and a spray ground to each pool
facility will appeal to families and increase interest in visiting the outdoor pool facilities.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 25-26
PRIORITY 6—Clearbrook Park
Description: This project implements the development vision for the northeast area of Clearbrook Park. This vision is consistent
with the Clearbrook Park Master Plan. Included are basketball, pickleball courts, and an access trail from the existing pool parking
lot.
Capital Cost: $454,440
Justification: This facility would provide recreation opportunities for the entire Frederick County area. It would provide amenities
not readily available in northeastern Frederick County and provide a public pickleball complex for county residents.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 25-26
22
PRIORITY 7 — Gym Addition Jordan Springs Elementary
Description: This project brings the Jordan Springs Elementary School into the Cooperative Use framework for shared school and
community uses. Expanding the gymnasium from elementary size to full size (comparable to Orchard View, Greenwood Mill,
Evendale, and Gainesboro Elementary School Gyms), and adding community multi-purpose room space to the proposed school site.
Capital Cost: $1,657,124
Justification: The model in place since Orchard View Elementary was built in 2000 added gymnasium and multi-purpose space to
subsequent elementary schools, as these schools are located where population growth is present. Growth in community
programming, camps, and indoor sports leagues continues to create demand for more gymnasium and multi-purpose space. Adding
pressure for this location is that there are no community center spaces in the Stonewall District, while population continues to
increase.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 26-27
PRIORITY 9 — Sherando Park Area 1 Recreation Access Phase 2
Description: This project continues the development vision for the northwest area of Sherando Park located north of Rt. 277 as
shown in the 2016 North Sherando Park Master Plan update. Continuing the newly installed Line Drive from Warrior Drive to
Landgrant Lane, parking, restroom building, and dog park are elements of this phase.
Capital Cost: $1,594,872
Justification: This facility would provide recreational opportunities for the entire Frederick County area. This project is intended to
meet the needs of the community as identified in the 2022 Frederick County Parks and Recreation Community Survey.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 26-27
PRIORITY 10 - Sherando Park Area 3 Development
Description: This project completes the development vision for the southwest area of Sherando Park located north of Rt 277. This
vision is expressed in the 2016 North Sherando Park Master Plan update. Included are rectangular play fields, a shared use trail
segment, roadway and parking, playground, restroom, and maintenance building.
Capital Cost: $2,810,000
Justification: This facility would provide recreational opportunities for the entire Frederick County area. In addition to its use as a
recreational facility, it will be used by the Frederick County school system, with the development of the north Sherando Softball
23
Complex (CIP item #9) two rectangular play fields will be displaced. The development of area 3 not only addresses this direct result,
but also addresses additional identified needs of the community.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 26-27
PRIORITY 11— Sherando Ballfield Lighting Replacement
Description: Upgrade the ballfield lighting at Sherando Park Baseball facilities. The upgrade would involve the removal of the 30/20
FC (footcandle) level fixtures, lamps, and wood poles and replace with 50/30 FC (footcandle) level fixtures, lamps and steel poles on
4 fields at Sherando Park. This standard is required by Little League International on all little league fields. LED light fixtures are
specified, as HID fixtures are facing obsolescence.
Capital Cost: $1,072,183
Justification: The Parks and Recreation Commission is recommending the ballfield light system be upgraded to achieve the
recommended 50/30 footcandle level lighting on the playing surface. This will facilitate the provision of recreational opportunities
at Sherando Park for the service areas which include all Frederick County residents. The field light fixtures are over twenty-five years
old and are affixed to poles.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 25-26
PRIORITY 12 — Neighborhood Parks
Description: The Neighborhood project includes the continued development of existing and acquisition of 6 new sites of
approximately 10 acres and the subsequent development of these sites. Developed amenities will ultimately be determined by the
specific site, however typical development may include:
Acquisition of Parkland, 10 acres per site
• Paved Path
• Playground
• Shelter
• Hard Surface Courts
• Open Play Fields
Capital Cost: $5,833,862
24
Justification: To reduce the gap between the amount of existing parkland and the amount of parkland needed to meet the
minimum standard for our service area, as recommended by the 2013 Virginia Outdoors Plan. This project is intended to meet the
needs of the community as identified in the 2022 Frederick County Parks and Recreation Community Survey.
Potential acreage for parkland would be located in the Urban Development Area or Rural Community Centers.
Construction Schedule: Beyond FY 2028
PRIORITY 13 — Community Parks
Description: The Community Park needs include continued development of existing parks, and the acquisition of approximately
thirty-five acres for an additional park located in eastern Frederick County. Developed amenities will ultimately be determined by
the specific site, however typical development may include:
Acquisition of Parkland; 35 acres
• Paved & Gravel Paths
• Playground
• Tot lot
• Shelters
• Lighted Basketball & Tennis courts
Capital Cost: $2,492,603
Justification: Potential acreage for parkland would be located close to population density, east of Winchester, Redbud / Shawnee
district area. The location of this project would provide developed parkland to create more accessible recreational facilities and
opportunities to the residents Frederick County.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 26-27
PRIORITY 14 — Regional Park
Description: Acquisition and development of parkland:
• Northeastern Frederick County 150-200 acres
• Western Frederick County 150-200 acres
• Eastern Frederick County 150-200 acres
Capital Cost: $17,984,463
Justification: This project would meet the recreation needs of the Frederick County population.
25
Construction Schedule: Beyond FY28
PRIORITY 15 — Indoor Aquatic Facility
Description: The approximately 35,000 sq ft building will likely house a 10 -lane competitive pool, 6 lane warm water teaching pool,
meeting rooms, shower and changing rooms, and facilities support areas. The above facility would meet the swimming needs of the
community, including high school level swim teams.
Capital Cost: $24,924,952
Justification: There are no public indoor public pools in Frederick County. By constructing the indoor pool, it would permit the
department to meet competition needs, instructional needs, citizen programming provide a nucleus to attract new businesses to the
community. This project is intended to meet the needs of the community as identified in the 2017 Frederick County Parks and
Recreation Community Survey. This facility would be available to all area residents. The construction of this project will provide a
facility to offer competitive swim and year-round recreational programming.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 27-28
PRIORITY 16 — Indoor Ice Rink
Description: The Ice Rink project would be approximately 40,000 square feet and include an indoor area large enough to
accommodate a single 200' x 85' ice rink, locker rooms, party/meeting rooms, and concession area and would need approximately
10 acres to construct. This facility should be located on property owned or proffered to the County. The above ice rink may be
collocated with other compatible uses should opportunities arise, reducing the acreage demand.
Capital Cost: $132,572,089
Justification: There are no public indoor ice rinks in Frederick County and county residents currently must travel over one hour to
use an indoor ice facility. By constructing the indoor ice rink, it would permit the department to meet competition needs,
instructional needs, citizen programming and leisure demands as well as provide a nucleus to attract new businesses to the
community. This facility would be available to all area residents. The construction of this project will provide a facility to offer year-
round recreational programming for the residents of Frederick County. This project is intended to meet the needs of the community
as identified in the 2022 FCPRD Community Survey.

Handley Regional Library Project Priority List
PRIORITY 1- Frederick County Library Branch - Gainesboro
Description: Construction of a 4,000 to 5,000 square foot branch library, either as a stand-alone facility or co -located with a
planned Frederick County facility (e.g. the new middle school). Initial parking should be for at least 50 vehicles. The proposed
location would be on Rt. 522 in the Gainesboro district, but this could change depending on patterns of library use and on whether
donated land could be located or if co -located with a Frederick County project already in the early planning stage. This projected
branch would fit per discussions with FCPS on existing property and was outlined in a document prepared by FCPS students seven
years ago.
Capital Cost: $2,023,683
Justification: This branch would serve citizens living in this growing area: In 2021-22 we checked out 364,369 (traditional) and
77,272 (electronic) for a total of 441,641 items to Frederick County residents. 25,510 Frederick County residents have cards
(inactive users were purged in Nov 2021 — required by the State every three years) and averaged 62.36% of all materials checked
out. As of June 2022, there were 2,337 new Frederick County registrations for the year. We have also started collecting statistics on
the Electronic Retrieval of Information. This includes information and documents retrieved from online databases, such as historical
documents and research articles from periodicals. For this past year, Frederick County card holders downloaded 80,028 documents.
This population group in the Gainesboro district is not close to a library in the regional system. This new library would serve a
sizeable population of Frederick County that is not being served. The library will provide materials and programming for citizens
from toddlers to senior citizens. It will provide recreational and educational materials. It will be a prime source for homework help
since it will be open nights and on weekends when school libraries are closed. The library will supply computer access via Wi-Fi,

County Administration and Public Works Project Priority List
PRIORITY 1- Double Toll Gate Citizens' Convenience Site - Expansion
Description: The project will expand refuse capacity in the growing Double Toll Gate, Lake Frederick, White Post, eastern Stephens
City and Armel communities by adding a second trash compactor, poured concrete wall and other site improvements, greatly
enhancing traffic flow, efficiency, and overall capacity. The current site is situated on 2 acres just inside Clarke County and is leased
from the Virginia Department of Transportation at no cost. The facility serves residents in both Clarke and Frederick Counties. Clarke
shares in collection and disposal costs (26 percent) while Frederick maintains the site and provides labor. Construction and all site
improvements will take place over a period of months while the facility remains open for business.
Capital Cost: $800,000
Justification: A total of 8,198 vehicle trips were made to the facility during August 2022, a number consistent with 2021 figures.
With an average of 315 trips recorded per day, Double Toll Gate is one of the County's busiest neighborhood refuse and recycling
sites. A second compactor would double capacity and eliminate the need to close early on certain holidays during times of heavy
trash flow. Traffic flow inside the facility would be enhanced. This location has served the area well since the late 1970's. A recycling
pad and new pavement were added in 2009. Additional upgrades are now necessary in order to meet the growing demands of solid
waste management.

renovations and repairs be placed in each fiscal year. More detailed analysis by each station is under way to identify critical needs
and to assign priority to each project.
Capital Cost: $7,000,000
Justification: As part of the Fire Rescue System 10 -year planning process, preliminary survey and analysis was completed of each of
the 9 volunteer fire stations. None of the 9 volunteer stations were originally designed or constructed to house full-time staff 24 -
hours a day, 365 days a year. The volunteer companies have over the last 20 years made various renovations and additions as
finances could allow to make accommodations for the minimum staffing levels. As the projected minimum staffing levels increase
over the next 10 -years additional renovations will be required. Over the last 2 years, Clearbrook and Greenwood Volunteer Fire
Companies have renovated their living areas to accommodate additional staffing for between $600,000 to $1,300,000. Based on
the preliminary survey, similar renovations will be necessary in the remaining stations as well as more comprehensive work on the
basic infrastructure of the aging buildings and updating to current life, health, and safety standards for the facilities. The average
cost of $1,000,000 is used as a place holder for planning purposes until completion of the more detailed analysis is completed. As
described earlier, volunteer companies may undertake all or a portion of the renovation projects on, as their individual finances
allow in the absence of a comprehensive funding approach to the needed renovations
