Projects

Major capital improvements that will provide adequate infrastructure and facilities for residents and new business development are funded in the county’s Community Investment Program (CIP). The CIP is a rolling five-year plan that prioritizes funding for major capital projects so that Polk can meet the demands from growth and economic investment in the county.

The CIP project expenditures for FY 2024-2028 are projected to be approximately $447.2 million in FY 2023/24 and are anticipated to exceed $1.2 billion over the next five years. Project funding will address areas to accommodate increased traffic and access needs, repairing and replacing aging water and sewer infrastructure, new fire rescue stations, needed facility assets to meet Sheriff’s Office public safety commitment, and continued expansion and improvement of our facilities and parks environments.
