Capital Improvement Projects

The Highland Village City Charter calls for submission to Council of a five-year capital budget. This provides an opportunity for Council to see a multi-year outlook for planning purposes. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is presented at the beginning of budget discussions to provide the framework for consideration of the current year’s budget and resulting tax rate. These projects are non-operational, "big ticket" items that typically require outside funding sources such as debt issuance, grant, or lease/purchase arrangements. 

Here is an update on the Capital Improvement Projects planned for 2023-2024. You can also view the CIP project interactive map to see the location, a description and images if they are available.
