As the County continues to experience the economic impacts of COVID-19, County Manager Mark Schwartz intends to present the Arlington County Board with a short-term proposed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) rather than the traditional 10-year plan. The short-term proposal will be submitted in early June andwill focus on essential projects and those required under existing agreements or statutory requirements. The one area that will see increased investment is the County's Storm Water Infrastructure, and the County does anticipate proposing bond referenda for consideration by the voters for critical needs. "In two months, the world has changed. We have no idea how long the current economic situation will last. We have already postponed a list of capital projects, and our capital needs have changed," County Manager Mark Schwartz said. "We also anticipate that our future facility and infrastructure needs will likely change post-COVID." With such uncertainty, it is important to take time to understand how state and regional funding partners' capital and funding processes will be impacted.

While work is needed to finalize the interim CIP, it is expected to include deferrals inalmost all areas of the County's assets and infrastructure.Those projects that are in construction or underway will likely continue, although difficult choices may be required. The County recognizes that there are many stakeholders interested in various elements of a typical 10-year CIP—and that many residents had looked forward to increased investments in major corridors, neighborhoods, parks, trails, and other areas that enhance their quality of life. Once the trajectory of any economic recovery is known, the County hopes to return to consider those items.
