MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: John Bishop,AICP, Assistant Planning Director
DATE: September 7, 2023
RE: 2023-2028 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) minor update
Request
Staff is seeking action from the Board of Supervisors regarding a minor update to the CIP
in support of several funding requests that are currently on file with VDOT. While these
projects are already conceptually included in the Comprehensive Plan, specific inclusion
into the CIP will assist the applications in being more competitive.
The update is as follows:
16. Route 11 at Shawnee Drive widening and Intersection improvements
21. Warrior Drive South Extension Including Brandy Lane Upgrade
27. Warrior Drive Pedestrian Improvements
28. Valley Mill Road Pedestrian Improvements
29. Inverlee Way Pedestrian Improvements
Background
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is a document that consists of a schedule of major
capital expenditures for the County for the ensuing five-year period, as well as a category
for long term projects (6 + years out). The CIP 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.
The inclusion of projects on 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 capital
facilities planning document, not for requesting funding allocations. Once adopted,
project priorities and cost estimates may change throughout the year based on changing
circumstances. It is also possible that projects may not be funded during the year
indicated in the CIP. The status of any project becomes increasingly uncertain the further
out the project date is identified. The CIP is also updated annually, and projects are
removed from the plans as they are completed or as priorities change.
