Adopted FY 2027 - FY 2036 Capital Improvement Plan

Summary

The Arlington County Board voted July 21, 2026, to adopt a $4.9 billion FY27-FY36 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP proposal was informed by more than 1,800 people who weighed in on their top priorities for maintaining major infrastructure investments in streets, parks, technology, and critical infrastructure. In addition, during the engagement for the FY 2027 operating budget, community members voiced strong support for the County to maintain existing facilities and infrastructure rather than invest in new projects.

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is one of the most significant planning processes for Arlington County and Arlington Public Schools. This plan typically identifies the capital needs of the community over a ten-year period. It is prepared every two years, with any adopted general obligation bond referenda presented to voters in November of even-numbered years. The plan includes major infrastructure investments such as community facility infrastructure, environmental resiliency, parks, transportation, stormwater management, utilities, and more.

CIP Overview

Below are several documents that highlight the details and importance of the adopted FY 2027–FY 2036 CIP.
