Press Release

By Board of County Commissoners

07-29-22 Nassau County

The Nassau Board of County Commissioners approved a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) valued at $133 million, at its regular July 11 meeting, including $49 million in CIP projects funded for Fiscal Year 2022/2023.

We are pleased to announce that the Board was able to determine funding sources that will not require the use of FY 22/23 projected ad valorem revenues earned from property tax collection, but instead utilize a diverse mix of funding sources including grants, impact fees, mobility fees, tourist development tax funds and other restricted funds, according to a statement issued Thursday.

Capital improvement projects refer to physical assets that include the design, purchase, construction, maintenance, or improvement of public resources such as land, buildings, parks, public infrastructure, equipment and public spaces.

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a working blueprint for building and sustaining the community’s publicly funded infrastructure.

Each year, the County compiles a list of identified projects for the CIP. The current CIP reflects the goals and objectives in the County’s first interim Strategic Plan, adopted earlier this year. The Interim Strategic Plan can be found here.

Below is a sampling of projects to be funded in coming fiscal year.
