Capital Improvement Plan Streets and Highways FY 2025 - 2030
The mission of a regional streets and highways CIP is to evaluate the existing transportation infrastructure and provide planning for Nye County residents to satisfy the local and regional mobility needs of a growing community safely and consistently. The CIP presented in the following write-up is a ten-year plan that identifies priority infrastructure needs and annual funding requirements for capital projects with a tentative outline of future projects for an additional ten-year period identified. The capital infrastructure required for transportation includes roadways and related facilities designed to facilitate the growing population’s transportation needs. This plan addresses the improvement of existing streets and the construction of new roadways designed to accommodate future traffic demands from existing and proposed developments. This CIP enables the County to identify needed capital projects, coordinate financing, and establish construction timing. To increase effectiveness, the CIP consists of two crucial segments: an administrative process to identify and prioritize future capital projects (the Prioritization Procedure) and a fiscal plan to identify annual funding requirements for those projects. For each CIP project, the costs for planning, design, construction, and (in some cases) rights-of-way acquisitions are included in the estimates of funding requirements.
The CIP links the county’s planning and budget activities. It can support past policy decisions by establishing priorities between competing projects and measure and evaluate the merits of new proposals. Typically, a CIP describes each capital project proposed for development over the forthcoming ten-year period by listing the year it will start and the cost per year.
Even though the overall process is dynamic and periodically adjusted to fit revised forecasts of growth and fiscal expenditures, the CIP approach to planning ensures that priority needs are addressed in a timely manner. This approach is appropriate for areas that are experiencing moderate to rapid growth, as is the case in Nye County. Furthermore, it ensures that new facilities will be evaluated within the context of County and Municipal land use plans and weighted against safety and maintenance requirements for existing structures.
