Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Interactive Map

CIP-Map-Image.png

Arlington County’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Map, is an interactive map for the community to view completed, funded, and adopted CIP projects throughout the county. 

This interactive map allows community members to view projects in and around their neighborhoods. Users can filter projects by program, category, status, and associated master plan. Users can also learn more about a project by clicking on a project. In addition, users can zoom in on civic associations to view projects in their neighborhood. To provide insight on county investments by demographics, an overlay of the 2020 Census Tracts have been included. 

The CIP map provides the public with up-to-date project information and an opportunity for everyone to share their feedback on new projects. The community can send emails to dmf@arlingtonva.us to share any feedback about the map. 

This interactive map includes significant Capital Improvement projects in the County (not all projects). Below are some tips, definitions, and instructions to help users better understand and navigate the information shared in the CIP map.
