Steeped in History, Invested in Our Future

Polk County’s Community Investment Program (CIP) is a planning tool to help map out future roadways, parks and natural conservation lands, as well as new facilities and services.

The CIP is a rolling five-year plan that prioritizes funding for major capital projects to help meet the demands from growth and economic investments around Polk County.

Projects in the FY 2026-2030 are projected to cost more than $1.9 billion. The cost of the FY 2025-2026 CIP projects are more than $794 million.

CIP 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.
