Five Year Capital Improvement Plan Published in OpenGov

The Town of Brewster has developed a Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which identifies proposed capital expenditures on facilities, acquisitions, equipment, infrastructure, and/or projects in excess of $10,000.  The plan includes cost estimates, anticipated funding sources, and expected timelines for each capital item.  It is updated on an annual basis to reflect current organizational needs, priorities, and capacities. 

“In an effort to continue to provide our residents with more information about upcoming projects, we are pleased to announce that the FY23-27 CIP is now available in a new, user-friendly, online format,” said Peter Lombardi, Town Manager.  “This initiative is consistent with the Town’s commitment over the past several years to improve accessibility of municipal finances.” Click this link to go to the FY23-27 CIP capital projects homepage.

The Town published its FY23 operating budget on the OpenGov platform last year. The FY24 operating budget will be posted here in February 2023.
